Morgan & Morgan is Investigating the LendingTree Data Breach Announced on or Around June 10, 2024

Morgan & Morgan’s industry leading data privacy attorneys are investigating financial services firm LendingTree regarding its recent data breach (sometimes referred to as a data security incident). The LendingTree data breach involved sensitive personal identifiable information belonging to over 190 million individuals.

We are investigating, among other things, the following:

  • how LendingTree acquired the sensitive information;
  • whether LendingTree should have had the sensitive information;
  • why LendingTree stored this sensitive information in an Internet-accessible environment;
  • whether LendingTree encrypted the sensitive information it stored in an Internet-accessible environment;
  • whether LendingTree deleted sensitive information it no longer had a reasonable need to maintain in an Internet-accessible environment;
  • whether LendingTree implemented appropriate and adequate security measures to protect the sensitive information it stored in an Internet-accessible environment; and
  • whether LendingTree has provided affected individuals adequate protection and compensation for any harms they have experienced as a result of the data breach.

On or about June 10, 2024, LendingTree reported confirmed that their company it experienced a data breach in which sensitive personal identifiable information stored by its subsidiary QuoteWizard was accessed by an unauthorized party via the Internet.

If you received a data breach notification from LendingTree or QuoteWizard, please contact us today.

We place a significant amount of trust in the companies we choose to share our information with, making the actions of LendingTree all the more unacceptable. If you suspect that your information was exposed in LendingTree data breach, Morgan & Morgan is here to help.
