Investigation notes

A&A Safety Inc, a company operating in the infrastructure and safety sector, officially reported a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General on August 21, 2026. This report follows an incident identified on May 13, 2026.

The exposed data categories are highly sensitive and include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Home Address, Wage and Compensation Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Tax Form Information, and Driver License Number.

Such data can be exploited for various forms of identity theft, including tax fraud, fraudulent account openings, or targeted phishing scams.

Under federal and Indiana state law, companies like A&A Safety Inc are legally obligated to implement robust security measures to protect the sensitive personal information they collect.
