The same notice says an unauthorized third party accessed certain individuals’ personal information during the incident. It also states that data held in the network, including personal information, may have been exposed on or about July 25, 2025. Publicly available materials describe this as an incident concerning employee data, but they do not provide a total number of affected people.
What Information Was Exposed?
According to the notice, the information that may have been involved includes:
- Name and contact information, including mailing address and telephone number
- Social Security number
- Date of birth
- Driver’s license number
- Passport number
- Identification card number
- U.S. Alien Registration Number
- Employment Authorization Document (EAD) card information
- Tax ID number
- Bank account number
- Medical information
- Health insurance information
- Birth certificate information
Not every person’s data set is necessarily the same. The notice uses cautious language and says personal information may have been impacted, so affected individuals should review their letter carefully to see what applies to them.
What Should You Do Next?
- Read your notice carefully and save it. Keep the letter, any enrollment code, and any future communications in one place. If you received an offer for Experian IdentityWorks, note the enrollment deadline listed in the notice.
- Enroll in the protection being offered if you are eligible. The notice states that iBUYPOWER is offering Experian IdentityWorks and identity restoration support. The notice also lists Experian’s assistance number as 833-931-5050 for eligible individuals who need help enrolling or using restoration services.
- Monitor your financial, medical, and tax-related accounts. Because the reported data may include Social Security numbers, bank account information, medical information, and health insurance information, review account statements, explanation-of-benefits forms, tax records, and mail for unusual activity.
- Consider a fraud alert or credit freeze. If highly sensitive identifiers were involved, a fraud alert or security freeze can add protection against new-account fraud. You should also review your credit reports for accounts or inquiries you do not recognize.
- Document problems and get legal guidance if needed. Keep notes of suspicious calls, denied claims, fraudulent charges, or time spent fixing identity issues.
