In response to the data breach, MoneyGram said it has external cybersecurity experts spearheading an investigation. In addition, the company has been working with law enforcement on the matter.

MoneyGram urges customers to keep an eye on free credit reports and review account statements.
"In addition, we have arranged to offer affected U.S. consumers identity protection and credit monitoring services for two years at no cost to you," the company stated, adding, "We regret any inconvenience this issue may have caused.'
