The hackers infiltrated the company's systems, locking down sensitive data and potentially exposing the personal information of numerous customers. PacRes Mortgage detected the breach the same day and immediately began an investigation, hiring cybersecurity experts and notifying law enforcement.
Unfortunately, the breach was not fully contained until February 20, 2025. LYNX subsequently posted about the incident on the dark web on February 24, 2025, claiming responsibility and providing sample screenshots of the compromised data.

Your Rights and Next Steps
If your personal information was compromised in the Pacific Residential Mortgage data breach, you have important rights and options available to protect yourself. First, PacRes Mortgage is offering affected consumers complimentary credit monitoring services through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company, for 12 months.
In addition, you can take proactive steps to safeguard your identity and financial security:
- Place a fraud alert on your credit reports by contacting one of the major credit reporting bureaus (Equifax, Experian, or TransUnion). Once you alert one bureau, they must notify the others.
- Consider placing a security freeze on your credit reports. This prevents new credit accounts from being opened in your name without your consent. You can request a freeze from each of the three credit bureaus separately.
- Regularly monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for unusual or suspicious activity. You can request a free credit report annually from each of the three major bureaus at https://www.annualcreditreport.com.
- Report any suspicious activity or identity theft immediately to law enforcement, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and your state's Attorney General.
