What happened
On June 23, 2026, RSC Insurance Brokerage, Inc., which operates as Risk Strategies, submitted a data breach notice to the Massachusetts Attorney General. The filing reported that an unauthorized party obtained access to certain company systems containing personal information. The filing listed 47 Massachusetts residents as affected, and no additional states were named in the notice.
According to the notice, the exposed information varies by individual and may include names, Social Security numbers, medical information, and health, dental, or vision insurance information. Risk Strategies stated that it is offering 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services through Epiq, and that it has implemented additional security safeguards intended to prevent a recurrence. The filing did not state the dates of the unauthorized access, the date the incident was discovered, or the cause, and our office is evaluating those points.
Because the reported data set may include Social Security numbers alongside medical and insurance information, affected individuals could face an elevated risk of identity theft, medical identity theft, and insurance fraud. Dapeer Law is reviewing whether Risk Strategies failed to adequately safeguard the information in its care and whether affected individuals may be entitled to compensation.

I received a data breach letter from Risk Strategies. What should I do? +
Keep your breach notice letter, since it contains your credit monitoring enrollment code and is useful evidence. Enroll in the free 24-month Epiq credit monitoring and identity protection offered in the letter, review your credit reports, and consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Because the reported data may include Social Security numbers and medical information, watch for unfamiliar medical bills or insurance claims as well. Contact a data breach attorney if you notice any misuse of your information.
Am I eligible to join a class action against Risk Strategies? +
Individuals who received a breach notice from Risk Strategies may qualify. Eligibility can depend on your state of residence, the categories of information exposed in your individual letter, and whether you experienced any documented losses. The Massachusetts filing listed 47 affected residents, and a free case review can help determine where you stand.
How much money could I receive from a class action lawsuit? +
Data breach class action recoveries vary significantly. Settlements typically range from a few hundred dollars for basic out-of-pocket losses to several thousand dollars for documented identity theft, with class size, damages, and negotiation all affecting the final amount. No payout is guaranteed, and this investigation has not yet resulted in a settlement.
What personal information was exposed in the breach? +
The public notice indicates the exposed information varies by individual and may include name, Social Security number, medical information, and health, dental, or vision insurance information. Your individual letter should specify which categories apply to you, so review it closely and keep it.
