What Happened?
According to public attorney general filings and the company’s incident notice page, this matter was reported as a hacking/IT incident. The currently available public information ties the incident to activity dated April 23 and April 24, 2025, with notices and public listings appearing on May 21, 2026.
Public details appear limited at this stage. The materials reviewed do not clearly explain when the issue was discovered, what systems were accessed, or how long any unauthorized activity may have lasted. For that reason, readers should treat the currently available information as a summary of reported filings rather than a complete technical account.
What Information Was Exposed?
Public filings indicate that the information that may have been involved includes Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s license numbers, financial account numbers, passport numbers, health records, and health insurance information.
That does not necessarily mean every person had every category of information involved. In data incidents, the affected information often varies from one individual to another. Still, the categories reported here are sensitive enough that impacted people may want to watch for identity theft, financial fraud, and misuse of health-related information.
What Should You Do Next?
- Read any notice you received carefully. The letter may identify the specific information that may have been involved for you and may explain whether any support services were offered.
- Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze. Because Social Security and financial information were reportedly involved, a credit freeze can make it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name.
- Monitor your financial accounts and credit reports. Review bank accounts, credit cards, and your credit file for unfamiliar activity, new accounts, or address changes you did not authorize.
- Watch your health insurance and medical statements. If health records or health insurance information were involved, review explanations of benefits and provider bills for services you do not recognize.
- Keep records of your time and expenses. Save the notice letter, note any suspicious activity, and keep receipts for costs tied to protecting your identity.
- Ask questions if you are unsure about your rights. If you received notice, you can contact Strauss Borrelli PLLC using the form provided on this page to learn whether you may qualify for a claim.
Your Legal Rights
Your legal rights depend on the facts of the incident, the laws of your state, and whether you suffered actual harm or spent time and money responding to the risk. In data incident matters, people may have the right to receive timely notice, use any remediation services that are offered, and seek compensation if inadequate data security or delayed notice caused legally recognized losses.
A claim is not automatic, and every situation is different. An attorney can review the notice, the categories of information reportedly involved, and the timing of the company’s disclosures to evaluate whether further legal action may be available.
