Data Breaches
As customers, employees, and patients, we assume the companies we entrust with our personal information will protect it. Yet, data breaches compromising personal information have become so pervasive.
Almost everyone today has a credit card, mortgage, student loan or car loan. We have to provide private financial information to the lenders and in return expect complete and totally protection from hackers. Unfortunately, with technology changing on almost a daily basis, we are seeing more and more data breaches and thus private information being compromised. A criminal in possession of a stolen bank account number might be able to empty that account and transfer it to a different account.

A stolen Social Security number can be used to open credit cards, piling up debt and ruining the credit rating of the SSN owner. And the information found on a standard credit card application can be used in a wide variety of hacking and social manipulation schemes.
Hackers use stolen personal information in a variety of ways. These may be indicators that your information has been compromised:
- Unauthorized charges to a credit card or bank account
- Mail for an unknown credit card or store charge account
- Collection notices or calls for a debt that you don’t owe
- Errors on your credit report, including inquiries from businesses you don’t recognize
- Being denied for credit, even though you have good credit
- Your electronically filed tax return is rejected
- You are required to prove your identity to the IRS in person to complete the submission of your income tax returns.
Our lawyers have extensive experience with data breaches and we have a strong record of successfully holding those responsible liable for their actions.
