Bojangles restaurant employees are continuing legal action against the company following a data breach that happened in
- A hacking group called Hunters International broke into the company's systems and stole employee information. Workers filed a class action lawsuit, and the case has been moving between state and federal courts. If you work or worked at Bojangles during 2024, your personal employee information may have been stolen in this breach. This is the kind of information you provided when you were hired, which could include your Social Security number, address, and other employment records. Here is what you should do if you are a Bojangles employee:
- Contact Bojangles HR department to confirm whether you were affected and what protections they are offering.
- Monitor your credit reports closely. Look for accounts you did not open or credit inquiries you did not authorize.
- Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit file. This makes it harder for someone to open accounts in your name.
- Watch for tax fraud. Criminals sometimes use stolen employee data to file fake tax returns. File your taxes early to beat the scammers. Whenever you start a new job, ask your employer how they protect employee data and what they will do if a breach happens. Keep copies of your pay stubs and tax documents so you can quickly spot if someone files a fraudulent tax return using your information. Being proactive protects you even when companies fail to keep your data safe.
