Approximately 68,587 people were affected by the breach, according to the filing.

“Potentially impacted personal information includes names along with one or more of the following: addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, government-issued ID numbers, and payment card numbers.”

RiteCheck says it changed the login credentials of user accounts and enhanced its threat detection and monitoring capabilities following the incident. The financial services firm is also taking steps to protect the victims for the next year.

“Additionally, affected individuals were offered 12 months of credit monitoring and identity protection services through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company.”

A recent report by the Identity Theft Resource Center (ITRC) revealed that the financial services industry recorded the highest number of data breaches in the US in the first half of 2025. Of the 1,732 data compromises reported in the first half, 22% impacted the financial services industry, according to the ITRC. The healthcare industry was the second-worst affected.
