The incident, first identified on January 11, 2026, was officially reported to authorities on September 25, 2026.

The compromised data types are reported to include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Mailing Address, and Driver's License Number.

This notification establishes your eligibility to seek legal recourse. You don't need to have already suffered financial loss or identity theft to pursue a claim, as the increased risk of future harm from exposed data can be a basis for compensation. Our firm can help you understand your options without any upfront cost.
