As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.
Western Electrical Contractors Association, Inc.

Suspicious activity was detected on the organization's computer systems earlier this year, and an investigation revealed that an unauthorized actor accessed and possibly copied files from WECA's network between January 21 and January 22, 2024.
The types of affected information vary by individual but may include names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account information, payment card information, medical information, and health insurance details.
Individuals affected by the Western Electrical Contractors Association data breach are now receiving notice of the incident.
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 Western Electrical Contractors Association to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
