What is the Rite Aid Bankruptcy and Data Breach About?
Rite Aid has officially filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy as of October 18, 2023, and is closing at least 400 to 500 stores. As part of its bankruptcy process, many more Rite Aid stores and pharmacies are expected to close, resulting in "pharmacy deserts" in wide swaths of America, especially more rural areas and towns of the United States. The bankruptcy is a result of Rite Aid's alleged collusion of filling unwarranted prescriptions leading to the deaths of millions of patients and consumers as part of the Opioid crisis and Opioid class action settlement. In addition, recent data breaches that affected Rite Aid customers and patients has also aided in hurting Rite Aid's bottom line, expediting its path to bankruptcy.Did You receive a data breach notice letter from Rite Aid?
