ZAGG Data Breach Class Action Investigation

Written by Console & Associates P.C. | Jan 2, 2025 5:32:12 PM

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent ZAGG data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at ZAGG, which may have affected thousands of consumers who made purchases through ZAGG.com, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

 

What Happened?

A recent report from the Maine Attorney General's office reveals that ZAGG experienced a data breach stemming from a vulnerability in a third-party application called FreshClick, developed by BigCommerce. The security incident occurred between October 26, 2024, and November 7, 2024, during which malicious actors injected unauthorized code into ZAGG's checkout system, enabling them to collect sensitive customer information.

The compromised data includes:

  • Customer names
  • Residential addresses
  • Payment card information

Data breach letters were sent out by ZAGG on December 26, 2024, 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 ZAGG data breach
    1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from ZAGG
    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
