Best Collateral Data Breach

Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the Best Collateral data breach.

As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who received a notice stating they were impacted.

Best Collateral, Inc., which has eight pawn shops in the San Francisco Bay Area and Northern California, announced that it experienced a security incident potentially affecting the personal information of its customers and employees.

According to Best Collateral’s online notice, suspicious activity on its internal network was first identified around January 17, 2025, prompting an investigation and the retention of an independent cybersecurity firm to assist with the response. The investigators concluded around February 10 that certain data files containing personal information might have been obtained without proper authorization.

The Best Collateral data breach may have compromised customers’ names, driver’s license numbers, military identification numbers and biometric information. Affected employee data may have included names, health insurance policy details and Social Security numbers.

If your information was exposed in the data breach, attorneys want to hear from you. You may be able to start a class action lawsuit to recover compensation for loss of privacy, time spent dealing with the breach, out-of-pocket costs, and more.

A successful case could also force Best Collateral to ensure it takes proper steps to protect the information it was entrusted with.
