Investigation notes

Berg Lilly P.C., an Indiana-based legal practice, formally reported a data security incident to the state's Attorney General on August 28, 2026. This filing confirms that unauthorized actors gained access to the firm's network infrastructure, with the intrusion dating back to May 20, 2026. Such an event indicates a failure in the firm's systems designed to protect highly sensitive client and personal data.

The confidential nature of Berg Lilly P.C.'s work means the exposed information is highly sensitive. The reported data types include your Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Financial Account Number, Tax Return Information, Confidential Legal Documents, Home Address, and Phone Number. The compromise of such detailed personal and legal records creates significant risks, including identity theft, financial fraud, and severe privacy violations for affected individuals.

As a custodian of your private information, Berg Lilly P.C. was legally obligated to maintain robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards. Under Indiana data protection statutes and common law, entities handling sensitive data must implement reasonable security measures. The occurrence of this security incident strongly suggests that the firm may not have met these legal standards, potentially failing to implement crucial protections like multi-factor authentication or regular security audits.
