Migliaccio & Rathod is involved in the Muscatine Power and Water data breach investigation.
Migliaccio & Rathod LLP is involved in the Muscatine Power and Water data breach investigation, for a data breach affecting 36,955 individuals and their personal information.
On or about January 26, 2024, through January 27, 2024, Muscatine Power and Water experienced a ransomware event by which unauthorized access to its data was obtained. Muscatine Power and Water discovered the suspicious activity on its servers on or about January 31, 2024. The impacted information includes:
- Name
- Social Security Number
- CPNI pertaining to telephone service (billed amount, telephone number, call details, including minutes of usage)
Muscatine Power and Water recently began informing individuals of this breach through a mailed notice, delivered on or about March 1, 2024. All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous to affected victims. In previous data breaches, victims of data theft have noticed identity theft attempts ranging from fraudulent charges on bank accounts or credit cards, to unauthorized credit card applications, to medical services or government services ordered in their name, to their information being posted on the dark web, to 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, as data breaches present a lifetime of risk. Fraud and identity theft attempts or attacks can happen for many years following a data breach. Individuals impacted by data breaches will have to remain vigilant, such as by closely monitoring their accounts, changing passwords, and acting quickly to prevent or minimize fraud once it has occurred.
