Edelson Lechtzin Probes Plaza Home Mortgage Breach Affecting 137,976

A security breach at San Diego-based Plaza Home Mortgage has compromised the sensitive personal data of 137,976 individuals. Following the discovery of unauthorized network access on February 17, 2026, the national class action firm Edelson Lechtzin LLP has launched an investigation into potential privacy claims and legal remedies for victims.

The unauthorized access originated through an employee's computer, exposing a wide range of personal identifiers. Compromised records include Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver’s licenses, and detailed information linked to mortgage loan applications and servicing. For those affected, this exposure carries a heightened risk of identity theft and financial fraud.

Edelson Lechtzin LLP is now offering free case evaluations to determine if a class action lawsuit is warranted. Legal experts advise individuals who received notification of the incident to monitor their credit reports and bank statements for irregular activity. Those impacted should preserve all correspondence from Plaza Home Mortgage and consider implementing fraud alerts to secure their financial identities. The firm, which maintains offices in Pennsylvania and California, is currently gathering information from potential plaintiffs to assess the scope of the exposure.
