PeopleGuru Holdings, Inc., a software company that helps other organizations run payroll, has notified individuals that it discovered a cyber security event on July 9, 2025. According to the letter, an unauthorized third party gained access to certain systems within PeopleGuru’s network, and the company’s investigation determined that files may have been viewed or taken without authorization between July 6, 2025 and July 9, 2025. This falls under what security professionals typically call a hacking or system intrusion. PeopleGuru says it moved to secure its network, investigate the activity, and identify whose information was involved once that review was complete.
The letter is addressed to individuals whose personal information was contained in the affected files, and the filing separately notes that approximately 500 Rhode Island residents may have been impacted. PeopleGuru has not disclosed a total nationwide count in the notice reviewed here, and the company states it currently has no evidence that identity theft or fraud has resulted from this event.
What information was exposed?
- Full name
- Social Security number
- Financial account information
- Date of birth
- Passport number
- Driver’s license number
- Medical information
- Health insurance information
PeopleGuru is offering 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity restoration services through TransUnion/Cyberscout. To enroll, visit https://bfs.cyberscout.com/activate and enter the unique code provided in your individual letter. You must enroll within 90 days from the date of the letter (October 16, 2025).
What should you do now?
- Enroll in the free TransUnion/Cyberscout credit monitoring and identity restoration services before the 90-day deadline using the code in your letter.
- Because your Social Security number, financial account details, and medical information were involved, place a free fraud alert or credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to make it harder for anyone to open new accounts in your name.
- Request your free annual credit reports at www.annualcreditreport.com and review them closely for accounts or inquiries you don’t recognize.
- Watch your existing bank, credit card, and insurance statements for unfamiliar charges or claims, since financial and health insurance information were both part of this incident.
- Consider signing up for a service like Aura or LifeLock, which can alert you if your information appears elsewhere, such as on the dark web or in new credit applications.
- If you spot signs of misuse, file a report with the FTC at www.identitytheft.gov and consider filing a police report, which can help support fraud disputes with banks or creditors.
- Be cautious of unexpected calls, emails, or texts referencing this breach, since scammers sometimes use real incidents to trick people into giving up more personal information.
