Unauthorized access to IT systems at Brinks Home triggered a data breach and a legal investigation led by Shamis & Gentile P.A., a law firm with a focus on data breach cases. The firm is looking into whether customers are owed compensation for the exposure of their data.
Brinks Home, a privately held security company based in Dallas, offers 24/7 monitoring and smart home security systems. The firm reported unauthorized access and is now working to contain and investigate the incident.
The breach was revealed after ShinyHunters, a hacking group, took credit and shared details of the event on the Tor network. The breach has not yet yielded a public list of the specific customer data types exposed, though Brinks Home has stated it will notify impacted users.
Customers who think their data was taken may qualify for legal compensation. The law firm is encouraging those affected to seek legal counsel and file claims.
