Investigation notes

R & C Fence Inc, a contractor specializing in fencing and security systems, filed a data breach report with the Indiana Attorney General on July 22, 2026. This notification confirms that a security incident occurred on or around February 18, 2026, leading to the exposure of personal data. The nature of the breach itself, whether it involved unauthorized network access or another form of compromise, remains unspecified in the public record at this time.

According to the official filing, the exposed information includes individuals' Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Mailing Address, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, and Telephone Number. The compromise of such detailed personal and financial data can lead to serious consequences, including identity theft, financial fraud, and other forms of impersonation. Access to Social Security Numbers and direct deposit information specifically creates a high risk for various long-term financial crimes.
