iHeartMedia Data Breach: What You Need to Know

Lemberg Law is investigating a recent data breach at iHeartMedia + Entertainment, Inc. If you received a notification from iHeartMedia, your personal, financial, or health-related data may be at risk.

What Happened?

Between December 24 and December 27, 2024, an unauthorized party accessed and obtained files from a small number of iHeartMedia’s local stations. The company says it launched an immediate investigation, worked with a third-party cybersecurity firm, and notified law enforcement once the incident was discovered. After reviewing the affected files, iHeartMedia determined on April 11, 2025, that certain personal information was exposed.

Exposed Information

According to the company, the compromised files may have included:

  • Full name
  • Social Security number
  • Tax identification number
  • Driver’s license or state ID number
  • Passport number or other government-issued ID
  • Date of birth
  • Financial account or payment card information
  • Health or health insurance information

What iHeartMedia is Doing

The company says it has reinforced its cybersecurity protocols to prevent future breaches. In response to the incident, iHeartMedia is offering one year of free credit and identity monitoring through Equifax. Services include daily credit monitoring, identity restoration support, lost wallet assistance, and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance.

What You Should Do

If you received a data breach notice from iHeartMedia:

  • Activate your free Equifax monitoring services before the deadline listed in the letter
  • Review your credit reports, health statements, and financial accounts for any unauthorized activity
  • Place a fraud alert or credit freeze if you notice suspicious behavior
  • Contact Lemberg Law to find out whether you may be entitled to compensation
