Prudential Data Breach:
Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Prudential data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.
On February 5, 2024, Prudential detected unauthorized third-party access to its systems, and a subsequent investigation revealed that the breach began a day earlier, on February 4. The incident involved the unauthorized removal of some personal information, including names, addresses, and driver's license or non-driver ID numbers related to Prudential products and services. Though the Prudential data breach was initially disclosed in March 2024, the company informed the Maine Attorney General's Office in June that a total of 2,556,210 individuals were affected.
BleepingComputer.com reported that the ALPHV/Blackcat ransomware gang claimed responsibility for the attack on February 13.
If your information was 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 Prudential to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
