90 Degree Benefits Data Breach Class Action Investigation

Written by Console & Associates P.C. | Apr 10, 2025 7:45:00 PM

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent 90 Degree Benefits data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at 90 Degree Benefits, which may have affected individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

 

What Happened?

A recent report from the Texas Attorney General's office states that the 90 Degree Benefits data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident that allowed unauthorized access to confidential consumer information.

The company recently completed an investigation into the security event, confirming that an unauthorized third party gained access to files containing sensitive data that clients had provided to the organization. While details about the specific nature of the attack remain limited, with no website notice or press release currently available, the impact on affected individuals is clear.

The compromised information includes:

  • Names
  • Dates of birth
  • Medical information
  • Health insurance details

Data breach letters were sent out by 90 Degree Benefits on April 8, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and the specific categories of their personal data that may have been exposed.

It's worth noting that this isn't the first data security incident for 90 Degree Benefits. The company previously reported a data breach in 2022, raising questions about whether this current notification relates to newly discovered victims from the earlier incident or represents an entirely separate security breach.

 

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

    1. Set up alerts for suspicious activity
    2. Review all financial statements thoroughly
    3. Request free credit reports and examine them for unauthorized entries

    1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from 90 Degree Benefits
    2. Don't click on suspicious links or download unexpected attachments

  4. Change passwords for affected accounts
    1. Create strong, unique passwords for each account
    2. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
    3. Consider using a password manager for better security

  5. Enable two-factor authentication where possible
