What Caused the Data Breach Affecting CRC Insurance Services?

The CRC Insurance Services data breach was only recently announced, and more information is expected in the near future. At this point, CRC Group’s filing with the Attorney General of Texas does not provide detailed information about the incident, and the company does not appear to have posted a public notice discussing the breach. provides some important information on what led up to the breach. Thus, the available information is quite limited.

However, we know that CRC Group filed notice of the breach on November 7, 2023, which indicates one of two likely scenarios. First, hackers targeted CRC Group in a cyberattack in what was a successful effort to obtain confidential consumer data. The second scenario is that hackers orchestrated a cyberattack against one of CRC Group’s vendors that CRC Group had provided information to in related to the services it performs.

Either way, after learning that sensitive consumer data was accessible to an unauthorized party, CRC Insurance Services reviewed the compromised files to determine what information was leaked and which consumers were impacted. While the breached information varies depending on the individual, it may include your name, address, Social Security number, driver’s license number, state identification number, financial account information, and date of birth.

On November 7, 2023, CRC Insurance Services sent out data breach letters through U.S. mail to anyone who was affected by the recent data security incident. These letters should provide victims with a list of what information belonging to them was compromised.
