Investigation notes

Rafael Construction, a professional construction and general contracting firm, confirmed an unauthorized access incident affecting its computer systems. This breach, which occurred on or about November 27, 2025, was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General on May 15, 2026. If you received a data breach notification letter from Rafael Construction, it means your personal information may have been exposed.

While the official filing does not specify the exact types of personal information compromised, any breach of a company managing extensive records like Rafael Construction raises concerns. Companies like this routinely handle sensitive details. The lack of specific data types in the public record means that, for now, the full scope of exposed information remains part of an ongoing investigation into the company's data security practices.

The core issue in any data security incident is whether the company took adequate measures to protect the personal information entrusted to it. When unauthorized access occurs, it suggests a potential failure in these safeguards. Individuals whose data was compromised may face risks from identity theft or fraud, depending on what specific data elements were accessed by the unauthorized party.

If you received a notice from Rafael Construction, it is crucial to remain vigilant. We advise you to closely monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for any suspicious activity. Consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit files to prevent unauthorized accounts from being opened in your name. Always be suspicious of unsolicited communications requesting personal details.

Understanding your rights and potential legal options after a data breach can be complex. If your personal information was exposed in the Rafael Construction incident, you may have grounds to seek compensation for damages. We are actively investigating this breach and offer free consultations to help affected individuals understand their situation and whether a legal claim is appropriate.

What our attorneys examine

A cyberattack does not excuse a company from protecting the information it holds. We look at whether Rafael Construction 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.
