On or about November 21, 2022, Receivables Performance Management LLC (“RPM”) sent a Notice of Data Breach Letter (“Breach Letter”) to individuals informing them their personally identifiable information (“PII”) was exfiltrated through a ransomware attack perpetrated by cyberthieves/hackers (“data breach”).
According to the Breach Letter, hackers first gained access to RPM’s systems on April 8, 2021, although they launched the ransomware attack on May 12, 2022. The PII stolen by the hackers consisted of, including, but not limited to, Social Security numbers. Although RPM became aware of the data breach on May 12, 2022, it waited 18 (eighteen) months to provide notice to victims.
RPM is a large third-party debt collection company headquartered at 20818 44th Avenue Lynwood, Washington 98036. Last year it realized $47.1 million in revenue.
The data of over 3.7 million individuals was compromised by this data breach. If you received a Breach Letter from RPM, you were impacted by the data breach.
RPM has offered data breach victims 12 months of TransUnion credit monitoring and identification theft protection services.
