Business Wire
Rite Aid Corporation (OTC: RADCQ) is providing notice of an
incident that involved certain consumers’ personal information. We
are mailing letters to any potentially affected consumer who was
associated with a mailing address in our systems.
On June 6, 2024, an unknown third party impersonated a company
employee to compromise their business credentials and gain access
to certain business systems. We detected the incident within 12
hours and immediately launched an investigation to terminate the
unauthorized access, remediate affected systems and ascertain if
any customer data was impacted. We also reported the incident to
law enforcement, as well as federal and state regulators.
We determined by June 17, 2024, that the unknown third party
acquired certain data associated with the purchase or attempted
purchase of specific retail products. This data included purchaser
name, address, date of birth and driver’s license number or other
form of government-issued ID presented at the time of a purchase
between June 6, 2017, and July 30, 2018. To confirm, no social
security numbers, financial information or patient information was
impacted by the incident.
We regret that this incident occurred and are implementing
additional security measures to prevent potentially similar attacks
in the future. We take our obligation to safeguard personal
information very seriously and are alerting affected consumers
about this incident.
We are committed to protecting consumers’ information, and
anyone with additional questions may call our dedicated assistance
line toll-free at (866) 810-8094 from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Central
Time, Monday – Friday, excluding holidays. This line will remain
