What Happened?

A recent report from the California Attorney General's office states that the Tecta America data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident discovered on October 1, 2024. The company detected suspicious activity within its computer network, prompting immediate security measures and involvement of law enforcement. Tecta America's investigation confirmed unauthorized access to their systems and potential acquisition of files containing confidential information. The compromised information includes:

• Names

• Financial account information

Data breach letters were sent out by Tecta America on January 2, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and the specific types of personal data that may have been compromised.
