The September 2024 Data Breach

On October 1, 2024, Tecta America discovered suspicious activity within their systems. An investigation revealed that from September 20, 2024, to October 2, 2024, an unauthorized actor gained access to their environment, potentially compromising sensitive information. The breach was disclosed to various state Attorney General offices, including California, Massachusetts, Texas, and Vermont, in early January 2025.

The types of consumer information exposed include:

  • Name
  • Social Security Number
  • Driver’s License Number
  • Financial Information (e.g., account number, credit or debit card number)

Your Rights and Next Steps

If you have been notified that your information was part of the Tecta America data breach, there are several steps you can take to protect yourself. Firstly, consider enrolling in the complimentary credit monitoring services offered by Tecta America through IDX. This service can help you detect any suspicious activity on your credit report.

Additionally, you should monitor your financial accounts and credit reports closely. Under U.S. law, you are entitled to one free credit report annually from each of the three major credit reporting bureaus: Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. You can request these reports at annualcreditreport.com.

You also have the right to place a fraud alert or a credit freeze on your credit file, which can help protect against identity theft. A fraud alert notifies creditors to take extra steps to verify your identity before extending credit, while a credit freeze restricts access to your credit report.
