On September 27, 2024, MoneyGram discovered that an unauthorized third-party had gained access to the private information of its customers.

The types of information impacted includes:
- Social Security numbers
- Government identification documents
- Routine contact information, including email, addresses, phone numbers
- Date of Birth
- Bank account numbers
- Utility bills
- Money Gram Plus Rewards
- Transaction information
- Criminal investigation information (like fraud) for “a limited number of consumers
The MoneyGram Data Breach
National news organizations started reporting on the breach yesterday. All of the information stolen is likely valuable and dangerous to affected victims. As is likely to be the case with the MoneyGram data breach, in previous cyber-attacks, 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.
