The company detected the breach on January 22, 2025, and took immediate steps to contain the attack, including resetting passwords, restoring files, and enhancing security safeguards.

Estrella also engaged external cybersecurity experts and notified law enforcement. By February 1, the company determined that personal information may have been compromised.

To mitigate potential risks, Estrella is offering 24 months of complimentary identity protection services through Experian IdentityWorks. Impacted individuals will receive credit monitoring, identity restoration support, and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance coverage.

What Information Was Compromised?

Certain individuals’ personal information was present on the affected system, including:

    • Name
    • Social Security number
    • Contact details
    • Driver’s license numbers
    • Online account credentials

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from Estrella Insurance, your personal information may have been compromised. While most victims are officially notified through a “Notice of Data Breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin long before the notice arrives.

Steps to Take if You Were Affected by the Estrella Insurance Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Estrella Insurance. Be cautious of unexpected emails, texts, or calls requesting personal information. When in doubt, verify communications directly with the company through official channels.

Monitor Your Credit and Financial Accounts
Regularly check your bank statements, credit card activity, and credit reports for unauthorized transactions. Set up account alerts to detect suspicious activity early. Take advantage of free credit reports and review them carefully for unfamiliar accounts or discrepancies.

Consider Freezing Your Credit
For added security, request a credit freeze from all three major credit bureaus. This prevents new accounts from being opened in your name while still allowing you to use existing credit. You can temporarily lift the freeze when necessary if applying for credit.
