Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if my information was involved in the CAPTRUST data breach?

CAPTRUST mailed written notices to individuals whose data was stored on the affected system. Check any recent mail for a letter titled “Notice of Data Breach” from CAPTRUST.

What personal details did CAPTRUST expose?

The breach notice lists names, Social Security numbers and addresses. Your individual letter will specify exactly which data points were impacted.

Is the free credit monitoring enough?

Eighteen months of monitoring is helpful, but identity thieves may misuse stolen Social Security numbers long after that. Consider additional protective measures such as a permanent credit freeze.

What compensation could a CAPTRUST data breach lawsuit provide?

Successful claims may cover out-of-pocket expenses, lost time, credit-monitoring costs, and statutory damages where state laws allow.

How long do I have to take legal action against CAPTRUST?

Limitation periods vary by state, but many consumer-protection statutes provide between one and four years to file. Contact a qualified attorney promptly to preserve your rights.
