Investigation notes

An unspecified data security incident at 101298, a digital services and technology infrastructure provider, was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General on August 20, 2026. This notification confirmed that the breach, which originated around July 10, 2025, involved unauthorized access to sensitive personal data maintained by the company. Our firm is currently investigating the circumstances surrounding this compromise.

The official filing indicates that the exposed information includes individuals' Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Email Address, Password or Credential Hash, Mailing Address, Internal User ID, and Employment History. The presence of such a wide array of personal identifiers suggests a significant breach of data repositories.

Individuals may face increased vulnerability to identity theft, fraudulent account creation, and credential stuffing attacks across other online platforms. Protecting this type of information is paramount to personal financial and digital security.

As an enterprise-level data handler, 101298 was obligated to implement robust safeguards to protect the personal information entrusted to it. The occurrence of this data breach prompts an examination into whether the company maintained adequate administrative, technical, and physical security measures, as required by law. Potential security lapses, such as insufficient access controls or delayed patch management, are key areas of inquiry.
