MoneyGram Data Breach  – Class Action Investigation

Chimicles Schwartz Kriner & Donaldson-Smith is investigating a potential class action relating to a data breach incident involving MoneyGram International, Inc. (“MoneyGram”), a peer-to-peer payments and money transfer company.

What Happened at MoneyGram?

On September 27, 2024, MoneyGram determined an unauthorized user had accessed their system between September 20, 2024-September 22, 2024, and acquired personal information from an unspecified number of MoneyGram customers.  During the window of time that the unauthorized user had access to the system, MoneyGram experienced a temporary outage resulting in both their website and app going offline.

The personal information compromised may have included, but not limited to: name; phone number; email address; date of birth; social security number; copies of government-issued photo ID such as a driver’s license or state issued photo ID; copies of utility bills and other identification documents; bank account numbers; MoneyGram Plus Reward number, transaction information; and criminal investigation information used for fraud detection purposes.

Why is this important to you?

The data breach, if confirmed, could have severe implications for the affected users, leading to potential identity theft, financial fraud, and further cyber attacks. The hacker group’s bold move to put this data on sale goes on to show the growing menace of cybercrime and the increasing sophistication of these cyber adversaries.
