Through its investigation, Legacy confirmed that sensitive personal information in its systems may have been viewed and obtained by an unauthorized third party during the breach. As a result, Legacy began a review of the data to determine what information had been impacted as well as identify the specific individuals affected. On January 6, 2025, Legacy completed this review. While the information impacted varies depending on the individual, the type of information potentially exposed includes:
- Name
