Investigation notes
The Pennsylvania State Education Association (PSEA) is a professional labor organization and union representing educators and school staff. As an organization managing membership records, they typically collect and store sensitive personal information, including full names, home addresses, Social Security numbers, and payroll or banking details used for dues processing and benefits administration. This data breach was officially reported to the Delaware Attorney General in 2025, and the organization has since issued formal notification letters to all impacted individuals. If you received this notice, it indicates that your personal information was stored within their systems at the time of the incident. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the identity monitoring services being offered.

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 Delaware.
