Could this apply to you?

Had data in ECSI's systems · Oct 2023–Feb 2024

Do you live in the United States?
Was your personal information possibly accessed in the attack on ECSI's website between October 29, 2023 and February 12, 2024?
Will you submit a claim form by December 21, 2026?

What you’ll need

Keep your ECSI settlement notice, because the online form asks for its Notice ID and Confirmation Code (the mailed paper form does not). If you claim losses instead of the cash payment, keep statements, receipts or other records showing the amount and why the breach likely caused it.

Your next step

We check whether you have a notice with a Notice ID for filing online, and whether you want the cash payment or reimbursement for documented losses.
