Meet Our Prosper Data Breach Attorneys

Depending on the individual account, the data involved in the Prosper breach may include highly sensitive personal and financial information. This can range from basic identifying details, such as names and dates of birth, to more sensitive data like Social Security numbers, government-issued ID numbers, bank account information, tax data, or credit application details. Not everyone was impacted in the same way, but even partial exposure can carry long-term risk.

Many people affected by data breaches do not experience immediate fraud. In fact, stolen personal information is often sold, reused, or exploited months or even years later. Even without current misuse, individuals may still face real harm through increased risk, the need for credit monitoring, and the time and stress involved in protecting their identity and finances.

Prosper has notified certain users whose information may have been involved in the incident. If you received a notice, your data may have been exposed. However, some people remain unsure whether their information was impacted or what type of data was involved. A case review can help evaluate your situation based on your use of the platform and the information associated with your account.

Companies often notify affected users by email or postal mail, and notices may be sent in stages. Check the email account associated with your Prosper profile, including spam or junk folders, and monitor your physical mail. If you receive a notice, keep a copy for your records, as it may be helpful later.

Yes. Credit monitoring services are intended to alert individuals to suspicious activity, but they do not prevent identity theft or stop misuse of exposed information. Accepting credit monitoring does not automatically resolve the underlying risk or eliminate potential legal claims related to the breach or its consequences.

Data breach claims may involve more than direct financial losses. They can include costs related to credit protection, time spent securing accounts, dealing with fraudulent activity, repairing credit, and addressing ongoing risk. In some cases, emotional distress caused by loss of privacy and financial insecurity may also be considered, depending on the facts of the case.

Not necessarily. In many data breach cases, harm can exist even before fraud occurs. The exposure of sensitive personal information can create measurable risk, require preventive action, and cause lasting concern. Whether proof of misuse is required depends on the specific circumstances and applicable law.

There is no upfront cost to discuss your situation. A case review allows attorneys to assess whether the breach may have affected you and explain your potential options. If a case moves forward, legal fees are only paid if compensation is recovered. With Morgan & Morgan, The Fee Is Free®.

If your personal information may have been exposed, taking early precautions can help reduce risk. Common steps include monitoring bank and credit accounts, placing fraud alerts or credit freezes, updating passwords, and watching for phishing attempts. Even if no misuse has occurred yet, preventive action can be important after a breach.
