Received a July 2026 breach notice from RTX?
Dapeer Law, P.A. is investigating a potential class action against RTX Corporation, an aerospace and defense contractor headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, on behalf of Massachusetts residents whose personal information may have been exposed in the June 2026 security incident.
Who may qualify
You may be eligible to participate in a class action if any of the following applies:

- Your letter offered enrollment in free Equifax Complete Premier credit monitoring (Equifax).
- You are a Massachusetts resident whose personal information was held by RTX Corporation.
- No proof of harm required to consult with counsel. You do not need to have already suffered identity theft to explore your legal options.

What happened
According to a notice RTX Corporation ("RTX") filed with the Massachusetts Attorney General on July 24, 2026, the company experienced a security incident on June 25, 2026 that involved unauthorized access to certain systems containing personal information. RTX later determined that specific files containing resident data had been accessed.
RTX began mailing written notification letters to affected individuals on July 23, 2026. The notice states that the information involved included first and last name, mailing address, and Social Security number. RTX is offering 24 months of complimentary Equifax Complete Premier identity-protection services, and recipients must enroll using the activation code in their letter before the October 31, 2026 deadline.
RTX reported that a total of 15 Massachusetts residents were affected. Whether the company's pre-breach security practices met legal standards, and whether affected individuals face an ongoing risk of identity theft or financial fraud from the exposure of full Social Security numbers, are among the issues being evaluated.
