Data Breach Investigation Details
Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is involved in the GardaWorld Cash U.S. data breach investigation, for a data breach affecting 39,928 individuals and their personal information.
On or about October 30, 2023, through November 16, 2023, GardaWorld Cash U.S. experienced a ransomware event by which unauthorized access to its data was obtained. GardaWorld Cash U.S. discovered the suspicious activity on its servers on or about November 16, 2023. The impacted information includes:
- Name,
- Social Security number,
- Driver’s License number,
- Date of birth, and/or
- Insurance, benefit, or other health-related information
Impact of Data Breaches
GardaWorld Cash U.S. informed individuals of this breach through a mailed notice, delivered on or about March 22, 2024. All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous if adversely used against affected victims. In previous data breaches, victims of data theft noticed identity theft attempts ranging from:
- fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards;
- unauthorized credit card applications;
- medical services or government services ordered in their name;
- their information being posted on the dark web;
- a massive uptick in the number of spam text messages, calls and emails received;
Though credit monitoring is offered, any amount less than a lifetime of protection is simply inadequate. Data breaches present a lifetime of risk. Additionally, fraud and identity theft attempts or attacks can happen for many years following a data breach. Furthermore, individuals impacted by data breaches should remain vigilant, such as by closely monitoring their accounts, changing passwords, and acting quickly to prevent or minimize fraud once it has occurred.
