This notice is intended to inform you of the situation and provide guidance on the protective steps you should take to secure your identity and financial accounts.
What our attorneys examine
A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether Lewis County School District used reasonable security, how long it kept the data, and how quickly it told the people affected. Those questions decide whether a class action or individual claim is possible. Read more on how ransomware lawsuits work, or browse other incident files in Indiana.

Attorney advertising. An incident file reflects a public regulator filing and our review of it; it does not mean a lawsuit has been filed or that the company did anything unlawful. Submitting a review request does not create an attorney-client relationship.
