Tecta America Corp, a commercial roofing contractor, has notified individuals that an unauthorized actor got into its computer systems and was able to view or take certain files. The company says it first noticed suspicious activity on October 1, 2024, then traced the actual intrusion window back to September 20 through October 2, 2024. This falls under the hacking or system intrusion category — someone outside the company broke into its network rather than an insider misusing access or a lost laptop causing the problem.
The letter doesn’t give a total number of people affected across all states, though it does note that roughly 18 Rhode Island residents are among those impacted, which suggests the full list spans multiple states. If you received a letter, your name appeared in the files Tecta reviewed after the intrusion, and the company has confirmed your specific record contained sensitive personal data.
Which of my personal details were actually in those files?
- Full name
- Social Security number
- Driver’s license number
- Financial account information
Tecta’s letter says these items were "potentially accessed and/or acquired" — meaning the company can’t guarantee the data was viewed or copied, but can’t rule it out either.
To help offset the risk, Tecta is offering complimentary credit monitoring through IDX, covering either 12 or 24 months depending on the recipient. You can enroll at https://response.idx.us/Tecta-America using the enrollment code printed at the top of your individual letter — enrollment must be completed by April 2, 2025, since the company cannot activate the service on your behalf.
What should you do given SSNs and driver’s license numbers were involved?
- Enroll in the free IDX credit monitoring before the April 2, 2025 deadline — once that window closes, the free coverage disappears.
- Place a fraud alert or a full credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion; a freeze is the stronger option since it blocks new credit accounts from being opened in your name without your say-so.
- Pull your free credit reports at annualcreditreport.com and look for accounts or inquiries you don’t recognize.
- Because a driver’s license number was exposed, watch for signs someone is using it to open utility accounts or file fraudulent tax returns, and consider contacting your state DMV about a security flag on your license record.
- For ongoing peace of mind, consider signing up for a service like Aura or LifeLock, which can alert you if your Social Security number, financial details, or other personal information turn up somewhere they shouldn’t.
- If you spot suspicious activity, file a report with your local police and with the FTC at identitytheft.gov — you may need that documentation to get fraudulent charges reversed.
