On April 1, 2025, LexisNexis Risk Solutions (“LexisNexis” or “LNRS”) learned that an unauthorized third party infiltrated the GitHub platform LexisNexis used for software development. Based on a subsequent forensic investigation, LexisNexis determined that cybercriminals infiltrated the inadequately secured platform and obtained LexisNexis data files. The investigation further determined that, through this infiltration, cybercriminals accessed and stole files containing the sensitive personal information of potentially 364,333 individuals.
The information exposed in the data breach includes, but is not limited to:
- Names
- Social Security Numbers
- Dates of birth
- Driver’s license numbers
- Addresses
- Phone numbers
- Email addresses
As a result of the LexisNexis data breach, these individuals’ personal and highly confidential information may be in the hands of cybercriminals who can place the information for sale on the dark web or use the information to perpetrate identity fraud.
Murphy Law Firm is investigating claims on behalf of all individuals whose personal and confidential information was potentially compromised in the data breach. We are evaluating legal options, including a potential class action lawsuit, to recover damages for individuals who were affected by the LNRS data breach.
