Holy Frijoles! Rite Aid Owes YOU Money! Are You One of the Lucky Ones?!

A Cyberattack?! Madre de Dios!

Hola mis amigos! It is I Puss in Boots here to deliver news of grave importance though not quite as grave as running out of leche. It seems the dreaded digital fiends have struck again this time targeting the hallowed halls of Rite Aid. A cyberattack they call it! Bah! Back in my day we used swords not these… computers. Apparently some villainous RansomHub gang managed to swipe the personal information of over 2 million customers. ¡Ay caramba! That's more than I've faced in all my nine lives... almost.

The Loot: Names Addresses and... Driver's Licenses?!

The data stolen I am told includes names addresses dates of birth and even… *gasp*… driver's license numbers! Thankfully no social security numbers were taken that is a relief. But still! Imagine the possibilities for mischief! Though naturally I would never condone such behavior. A true hero only uses such information for... well let's just say 'strategic reconnaissance' to foil the plans of villains! And these RansomHub fellows they're definitely villains. More dastardly than El Miedo himself!

Rite Aid to the Rescue... Sort Of

Now Rite Aid claims they acted swiftly shutting down the unauthorized log in within a mere 12 hours. A valiant effort perhaps but the damage was done. They offered free credit monitoring and identity theft protection but some say it was like putting a band aid on a cannon wound. Thus the lawsuits came like a swarm of angry bees defending their honey.

The Purse: $6.8 Million for the Taking!

Fear not amigos for there is a glimmer of hope! A settlement has been reached. A grand total of $6.8 million! Enough to buy a mountain of catnip or perhaps settle a few gambling debts *ahem*. But seriously this money is meant for you the victims of this digital treachery. If you believe you are eligible please read on!

Are YOU Eligible Mi Amigo?

Did you shop at Rite Aid between June 6 2017 and July 30 2018? Did you receive a data breach notification? If so you might be in luck! And if you didn't receive a notice but you think your information was compromised don't despair! Contact the Settlement Administrator. They might just have a golden ticket with your name on it!

Unsheathe Your Claims! (And Your Receipts!)

Here's where it gets interesting. If you have proof – receipts account statements anything showing you suffered financial loss because of this breach – you could claim up to $10,000! ¡Diez mil dolares! That's enough to buy a lifetime supply of boots! Even without documentation you can still claim a smaller amount. The deadline to file is July 7 2025 so don't delay! Visit the official Rite Aid settlement site or mail a claim form. And remember be vigilant! Protect yourselves from identity theft. After all a cat has to protect his reputation and so should you!
