FeganScott Announces Investigation into MoneyGram Data Breach That Compromised Customers’ Personal and Financial Information

FeganScott, a national law firm dedicated to protecting consumer
rights, announced that it has launched an investigation into
MoneyGram following confirmation from the financial services
provider that an unauthorized third party illegally obtained
customers’ personal and financial information during a September
cyberattack.
In a recent statement, MoneyGram reported that the stolen
customer information includes Social Security numbers, government
identification documents, bank account numbers, and transaction
information, among other data. The company has disclosed that the
cyberattack occurred between September 20 and 22, 2024, but it has
yet to formally announce its full scale and impact.
According to Elizabeth Fegan, managing partner of FeganScott,
the data breach and MoneyGram’s handling of the issue are both
troubling.
“It appears to me that MoneyGram failed miserably in its
obligation to safeguard consumer data; that is apparent,” said
Fegan. “What’s particularly galling is that after they allowed the
theft to occur, they outlined steps that consumers should take to
protect their personal data, which seems poorly timed and wholly
lacking considering the circumstances.”
MoneyGram customers are urged to contact contact@feganscott.com
to learn more about their rights or visit www.feganscott.com for
more information.
