What happened
According to the notice letter USA DeBusk, LLC filed with the California Attorney General, an unauthorized party gained access to certain company systems on or about September 5, 2025. The company says it blocked the unauthorized party's access, engaged outside cybersecurity experts to investigate, took additional steps to enhance its safeguards, and reported the incident to law enforcement.
On July 6, 2026, that investigation determined that files containing personal information belonging to employees and customers had been obtained. USA DeBusk filed a sample notice letter with the California Attorney General on August 10, 2026 and began mailing letters to affected individuals. The notice states that the information involved varies by individual and may include name, contact information, date of birth, government-issued identification numbers such as Social Security, driver's license, or passport numbers, financial account or payment card information, medical and health-related information, health insurance information, and account usernames and passwords. Recipients are being offered two years of Kroll identity monitoring at no cost, which includes single-bureau credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity theft restoration.
Roughly ten months passed between the September 2025 intrusion and the July 2026 determination that personal information had been taken. The categories reported in the notice are among the most sensitive that appear in a breach letter, because Social Security numbers, financial account details, health information, and reusable login credentials can support identity theft, account takeover, and medical or insurance fraud for years after the incident. The number of individuals affected has not been publicly disclosed, and the cause of the intrusion is not described in the notice.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your letter contains the enrollment code for the Kroll identity monitoring and is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit.
Enroll in the free 24-month Kroll identity monitoring
Enroll in the Kroll monitoring offered in your letter, which includes single-bureau credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity theft restoration, before the activation deadline printed on the notice. Accepting this benefit does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
Place a fraud alert or credit freeze
Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a fraud alert or freeze on your file. Request a free weekly credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, and use the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov recovery guide.

Common questions
I received a data breach letter from USA DeBusk. What should I do? +
Keep the letter, including the enrollment code. Sign up for the two years of free Kroll identity monitoring before the activation deadline printed on your notice, place a fraud alert or credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, and pull your free reports at AnnualCreditReport.com. Because health and insurance information may be involved, also review Explanation of Benefits statements for care you did not receive, and change any password you reused on other accounts. Then speak with a data breach attorney about your options.
Am I eligible to join a class action against USA DeBusk? +
If you received a notice letter from USA DeBusk, you may qualify. Eligibility generally turns on your state of residence, which categories of your information were involved, and whether you have documented out-of-pocket losses, fraud, or time spent responding. A free case review can confirm whether your notice supports a claim.
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 notice states that the information involved varies by individual and may include name, contact information, date of birth, government-issued identification numbers such as Social Security, driver's license, or passport numbers, financial account or payment card information, medical and health-related information, health insurance information, and account usernames and passwords. Your individual letter should identify which of these categories applied to you, so check it carefully and keep a copy.
Did USA DeBusk offer free credit monitoring? +
Yes. USA DeBusk is offering two years of identity monitoring through Kroll at no cost, including single-bureau credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity theft restoration. Enrollment requires the code in your letter and must be completed by the activation deadline the letter states. Enrolling does not waive your right to pursue a legal claim.

The number of affected individuals has not been publicly disclosed in the notice filed with the California Attorney General. The notice describes employees and customers as the groups whose information was involved. This page will be updated as more becomes known.
