Have you been affected by Pac Res Mortgage's data breach?

Pacific Residential Mortgage (Pac Res Mortgage), a company dedicated to maintaining the privacy and security of personal information, has reported a significant ransomware attack that impacted some of their systems on February 10, 2025. Those affected are encouraged to remain vigilant by monitoring their financial accounts and credit reports for any unauthorized activity.

Pac Res Mortgage Data Breach Details

Cybercriminals conducted a ransomware lockdown, which led to unauthorized access to certain systems within the company. After discovering the ransomware attack, Pac Res Mortgage promptly engaged a cybersecurity firm to secure the environment and conduct a forensic investigation to determine the nature of the breach.

Law enforcement was notified about the incident, and the company began a thorough review of the systems that were impacted. The investigation confirmed that unauthorized access to certain systems had occurred, and personal information maintained within those systems may have been compromised.

Pac Res Mortgage is also providing affected individuals with fraud assistance services through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company that specializes in fraud remediation and assistance. These services are designed to help individuals manage any questions or concerns related to potential fraud and assist those who may become victims of fraud.

What Information Was Compromised?

 While the specifics vary for each individual, the types of information that could have been affected include:

  • Name

  • Date of Birth

  • Social Security Number

  • Driver’s License

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from Pac Res Mortgage, 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 Pac Res Mortgage Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Pac Res Mortgage. 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.
