Incident Overview

SciTech Services, Inc. was responsible for safeguarding the personal data of its customers and employees. According to a MD state filing, SciTech Services, Inc. experienced a data security incident affecting an undisclosed number of individuals, exposing login credentials and account access data. Although disclosed some time ago, affected individuals may still have legal options.

Credential exposure in technology sector breaches poses compounding risks. Most users reuse passwords across multiple platforms, meaning a single set of stolen credentials can compromise financial accounts, email, cloud storage, and other sensitive services through automated credential stuffing attacks. Affected SciTech Services, Inc. users should immediately change passwords on all platforms.

Breached passwords are tested across hundreds of sites (credential stuffing). Immediately change this password on any other site where you use it.

Targeted Phishingmedium

Your email being connected to this breach makes you a high-value phishing target. Watch for impersonation attempts referencing the company or the breach.

Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.

Federal & State Protections — Compensation Available

01
Lost Time & Remediation Costs

The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.

02
Account Compromise Damages

When login credentials are exposed, the costs of downstream account compromises — password managers, security audits, and recovery costs for hijacked downstream accounts — can be recovered. Courts in recent class actions have awarded damages for credential exposure even without proven misuse.

03
Emotional Distress

Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.

§ VI

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against SciTech Services, Inc.?

No. Under Maryland Personal Information Protection Act and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.

How much does filing a claim cost?

Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.

Is it too late to file a claim?

Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.

What if SciTech Services, Inc. offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from SciTech Services, Inc. does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.

Do I need to have received a notice letter to be eligible?

Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by SciTech Services, Inc. during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.

How long does a data breach class action lawsuit take?

Most data breach class actions resolve within 18 to 36 months, though timelines vary by court and complexity. Your participation requires minimal effort — typically completing a claim form. Our office handles all litigation; you are notified when a settlement is reached.
