Advance Auto Parts Data Breach:
Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Advance Auto Parts data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who believe their information may have been impacted.
Advance Auto Parts, a leading automotive aftermarket parts provider, reported in a June 14, 2024 regulatory filing that it had experienced a significant data breach. On May 23, 2024, the company identified unauthorized activity within a third-party cloud storage environment – believed to be Snowflake – and, after an investigation, determined that some of the accessed files contained personal information, including Social Security numbers and other government-issued identification numbers belonging to current and former job applicants and employees.
According to media reports, a hacker using the alias Sp1d3r claimed to have stolen 3TB of Advance Auto Parts data and listed it for sale in early June. The listing stated that the stolen information included 380 million customer profiles with names, emails, phone numbers, and addresses; 140 million customer orders; 44 million loyalty and gas card numbers; sales history details, employment candidate information with sensitive details like Social Security and driver's license numbers; and transaction information. BleepingComputer.com reported that the hacker also claimed to be selling 358,000 employee records, likely including data belonging to former employees.
Advance Auto Parts said in its regulatory filing that it "anticipates providing notice of the incident" to affected individuals.
If you believe your information may have been exposed in the breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
A successful case could also force Advance Auto Parts to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
