Hewlett Packard Enterprise Data Breach Class Action Investigation

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Hewlett Packard Enterprise data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, which has exposed sensitive personal identifiable information. While the total number of affected individuals has not been disclosed, the breach involves sensitive personal data.

What Happened?

A recent report from the Attorney General of Massachusetts states that the Hewlett Packard Enterprise data breach occurred due to a cybersecurity incident. The company has provided limited details about the nature of the incident, and it remains unclear whether this was a direct attack on Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s systems or if it originated through a third-party vendor. The compromised information includes:

• Names
• Social Security numbers
• Driver's license numbers

Data breach letters were sent out by Hewlett Packard Enterprise on February 5, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

1. Monitor all accounts and credit reports closely
   1. Set up alerts for suspicious activity
   2. Review all financial statements thoroughly
   3. Request free credit reports and examine them for unauthorized entries
      
      
2. Consider freezing your credit
   1. Contact all three major credit bureaus to place a freeze
   2. Understand this prevents new accounts from being opened in your name
   3. Remember to temporarily lift the freeze when applying for legitimate credit
      
      
3. Look out for phishing attempts using information from the Hewlett Packard Enterprise data breach
   1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from Hewlett Packard Enterprise
   2. Don't click on suspicious links or download unexpected attachments
   3. Verify all communications through official channels
      
      
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
   1. Add this extra layer of security to all important accounts
   2. Use authenticator apps rather than SMS when available
   3. Keep backup codes in a secure location
