At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Express Services data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Express Services, which may have exposed sensitive personal identifiable information.

 

What Happened?

A recent report from the Texas Attorney General states that the Express Services data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident. On June 21, 2024, Express Services detected suspicious activity in a company email account.

An investigation revealed that unauthorized actors had access to two employee email accounts between May 7 and June 20, 2024. These unauthorized actors may have accessed the following types of sensitive data:

  • Social Security numbers
  • Driver’s license numbers
  • Financial information
  • Medical information
  • Health insurance information

 Data breach letters were sent out by Express Services on September 13, 2024. These letters informed affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
