North Metro Harness Initiative, LLC, doing business as Running Aces, an entertainment, card room, and harness racing venue, has confirmed a data breach. This incident involved unauthorized access to their systems, potentially compromising a substantial amount of private information held by the company.

The exposed data includes Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Mailing Address, Email Address, Financial Account Number, Payment Card Information, and Wage and Compensation Information. This extensive combination of personal and financial details puts affected individuals at considerable risk.

Such a breach can lead to immediate and long-term consequences. Victims may face an increased risk of identity theft, unauthorized financial transactions, and targeted phishing schemes. The exposure of Social Security Numbers and wage information also heightens the danger of tax fraud and other employment-related identity theft.

Companies like Running Aces are legally obligated to implement robust cybersecurity measures to protect the sensitive data they collect from customers and employees. A data breach suggests that these safeguards may have been insufficient, potentially indicating a failure to meet their duty to protect private information.

If you received a data breach notification letter from Running Aces, it serves as confirmation that your personal data was compromised due to this security incident. This notification establishes your standing to explore potential legal options, including participation in a class action lawsuit seeking to hold the company accountable for its alleged security failures.

What to do if you were affected

Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.

  • Freeze your credit

    Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.

  • Guard against tax fraud

    File your tax return as early as possible and consider requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN so no one can file a fraudulent return in your name.

  • Watch your financial accounts

    Review bank and card statements for unfamiliar activity and turn on transaction alerts. Report anything you don't recognize to your bank right away.

  • Secure your online accounts

    Change the password on any account that reused an exposed password and turn on two-factor authentication wherever it's offered.

  • Stay alert to targeted scams

    Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.

  • Keep your notification letter

    Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
