What Happened?
According to the California Attorney General’s data security breach listing, this matter is associated with a December 15, 2025 incident date and was publicly listed on May 29, 2026. The available filing categorizes the event as a hacking/IT incident.
Detailed public information about how the incident occurred, when it was discovered, and whether a third party was involved was not available in the materials reviewed. As a result, the summary currently available to the public appears to be based largely on regulatory reporting rather than a fully accessible notice narrative.
What Information Was Exposed?
Based on the regulatory information reviewed, the data that may have been involved includes names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and financial account information. Publicly available materials reviewed do not clarify whether every affected person had each of these data elements involved, and they do not confirm whether any particular information has been misused.
Even so, this combination of personal and financial information can create a meaningful risk of identity theft, account fraud, or targeted phishing. That is why it is important to take any notice seriously and monitor for suspicious activity.
What Should You Do Next?
- Review any notice carefully. Keep a copy of any letter or email you received and note any deadlines, reference numbers, or instructions provided.
- Watch your financial accounts. Review bank, credit union, and payment card statements for unfamiliar charges, transfers, or account changes.
- Check your credit. If Social Security or driver’s license information may have been involved, consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze with the major credit bureaus and review your credit reports for new accounts you do not recognize.
- Use any protection services offered. If the notice offers free credit monitoring or identity protection, consider enrolling before the deadline stated in the letter.
- Be alert for scams. After a reported incident, phishing emails, texts, and phone calls may increase. Be cautious with messages that ask for passwords, one-time codes, or account details.
- Document your losses and questions. Save records of suspicious activity, time spent addressing the issue, and any out-of-pocket costs. If you want to learn about your legal options, fill out the form on this page to contact Strauss Borrelli PLLC.
