The breach reportedly exposed a critical array of personal information. The compromised data includes individuals' Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Home Address, Banking and Direct Deposit Details, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Document Records, and Personal Email Address.

Under Indiana law and general data security principles, Palm Bay International Inc. had a clear legal obligation to implement reasonable safeguards to protect the sensitive personal information it collected and stored.
