What Happened?
According to a California Attorney General filing, RCI Internet Services reported a hacking/IT incident. The public listing reviewed here provides limited detail beyond the reported incident date and filing date. The materials available do not clearly confirm when the activity was first discovered, how the incident unfolded, or what services may have been offered to affected individuals. When the public record is limited, the most important document is the notice you received, along with any follow-up communications from the company.
What Information Was Exposed?
The available filing data indicates the reported incident may have involved Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and passport numbers. These are sensitive identifiers because they can be misused for identity theft, fraudulent applications, or other forms of impersonation. Even if you have not seen suspicious activity yet, it is wise to treat a notice involving these data elements seriously and monitor your personal and financial records closely.
What Should You Do Next?
- Read the notice carefully. Confirm what information the company says may have been involved, the relevant dates, and whether any free credit monitoring or identity protection was offered.
- Consider a fraud alert or credit freeze. A fraud alert can make it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name, and a security freeze adds stronger protection with the major credit bureaus.
- Monitor your credit reports and financial accounts. Look for unfamiliar accounts, charges, address changes, or applications, and dispute suspicious activity quickly.
- Watch for identity-document misuse. Because driver’s license and passport numbers were listed in the filing data, pay attention to unusual government, travel, or benefits-related activity.
- Keep records. Save the notice, screenshots, account statements, and notes about any time or money you spend responding to the incident.
- Learn about your legal options. If you received a notice tied to RCI Internet Services, you can fill out the form on this page to contact Strauss Borrelli PLLC and see whether you may qualify for a claim.
Your Legal Rights
If your personal information was involved in a reported incident, you may have rights under state data-breach notification and consumer-protection laws. In general, those rights can include receiving timely notice and accurate information about the categories of personal information at issue. Depending on facts that may still be developing, some individuals may also be able to pursue claims if unreasonable data security practices contributed to the incident and caused harm or a meaningful risk of harm.
