What Happened?
Based on the structured incident data provided, this matter was categorized as a reported Hacking/IT Incident and was publicly listed on an attorney general reporting page on June 26, 2026. The same dataset lists May 1, 2026 and June 1, 2026 as incident dates, but the public index page available in the provided sources does not explain whether those dates reflect a single event, a date range, or separate milestones in the incident timeline.
At this time, detailed information from the underlying notice is not publicly accessible in the materials provided here. That means important facts such as how the activity was discovered, whether any third-party system was involved, and what remediation steps were offered cannot be confirmed from the source page alone.
What Information Was Exposed?
The structured filing data indicates that Social Security numbers and financial account numbers may have been involved. Because the full notice language was not available in the provided sources, it is not possible to confirm from those sources whether both data elements applied to every affected person, whether additional information was involved, or whether the data was encrypted or otherwise protected.
If you received a notice, the letter you received is the best source for identifying exactly what information may relate to you. In general, Social Security number and financial account exposure can increase the risk of identity theft, fraudulent account activity, tax-related fraud, and targeted phishing attempts.
What Should You Do Next?
- Read and save any notice you received. Keep the letter, envelope, email, and any reference number. The notice may explain what information may have been involved and whether any services were offered.
- Review your financial accounts and credit reports. Check bank, credit card, and loan activity for charges or transactions you do not recognize. You can also review your credit reports for new accounts or inquiries.
- Consider stronger fraud protections. If Social Security numbers or account information may have been involved, a fraud alert or credit freeze may help reduce the risk of new-account fraud.
- Watch for phishing and account-reset messages. Be cautious with emails, texts, or calls that ask for passwords, one-time codes, or account details. Use official contact channels instead of links in unexpected messages.
- Document problems and ask about your options. Keep records of time spent, out-of-pocket losses, and any suspicious activity. If you believe you were affected, you can fill out the form on this page to contact Strauss Borrelli PLLC and see whether you may qualify for a claim.

Whether a claim exists depends on the facts of the incident, what information was involved, what the notice says, and which state laws apply.
