Harcourts Prime Properties Data Breach Lawsuit

Harcourts Prime Properties Data Breach Details

The breach, which was detected on March 20, 2025, came to light after a ransom demand was issued on the Dark Web, accompanied by sample documents of Agent Information Sheets. The company immediately launched an investigation and took steps to secure its systems.

While the investigation is still ongoing, Harcourts Prime Properties reported that the breach appears to be limited in scope. At this time, it seems that no transactional or client data was affected. However, there are concerns that the unauthorized access may have exposed names, contact information, and, in some cases, Social Security numbers.

As a precautionary measure, Harcourts Prime Properties is offering affected individuals complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services. These services are provided at no cost to individuals whose data was impacted by the breach.

What Information Was Exposed?

While the investigation is ongoing, Harcourts Prime Properties has determined that the compromised data may have included limited personal information, such as:

Names

Contact information

Social Security numbers (for a limited number of individuals)

It’s important to note that no transactional or client data appears to have been affected in the breach.

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from Harcourts Prime Properties, 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 Harcourts Prime Properties Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Harcourts Prime Properties. 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.
