Brightstar data breach being investigated by law firm
Class-action law firm, Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe LLP, is investigating the 2024 breach after the operator only began notifying affected individuals in October 2025.
Key Points
- Brightstar Global Solutions Corporation reportedly became aware of a data breach on November 17, 2024
- Unauthorized third-party gained access to sensitive information of 103,789 individuals
- Process of notifying affected individuals seemingly only begun in October 2025
A major breach of Brightstar’s corporate systems has seen the sensitive details of 103,789 individuals potentially be accessed by an unidentified external third-party.
A law firm, Schubert Jonckheer & Kolbe LLP, which specializes in class action cases has begun an investigation into the breach and Brightstar’s response, which may have broken state and federal laws.
The data leak was seemingly known to Brighstar on November 17 2024, but the individuals affected were not informed until around October 3 2025.
In this time, it’s believed that the third-party may have had access to names, contact information, dates of birth, government ID documents and numbers, Social Security numbers or other tax identifiers, financial account information and health data, among other things.
The San Francisco-based law firm wants those affected to be aware that the lack of communication about the breach from the company may entitle them to damages payments and an injunction requiring changes to Brightstar’s cybersecurity practices.
Good to know: Brightstar is part of IGT, with the lottery arm rebranding as Brighstar in Summer 2025

If the company withheld information regarding the breach, it could have put the affected individuals in danger of identity theft and other privacy violations.
