What FreebieAgent noticed
Educational Computer Systems (ECSI) is a legitimate financial services company that handles loan servicing and payment processing for colleges. A criminal cyberattack between October 29, 2023 and February 12, 2024 exposed sensitive data including Social Security numbers. The $6.5 million settlement doesn't require proof of purchase, only evidence of actual losses caused by the breach, and filing is free and done entirely by you. The Alternative Cash Payment may shrink or grow depending on total claims filed. This is a real court-approved settlement (case 2:24-cv-00666-CCW, Western District of Pennsylvania) with a final hearing scheduled for January 11, 2027.
