Investigation notes

Seufert Construction & Supply Co Inc, operating in Indiana, formally reported a data security incident to the state's Attorney General on August 18, 2026. The company confirmed that this breach, which occurred on July 13, 2026, resulted in the compromise of various sensitive personal information categories. While the specific nature of the cyberattack remains unspecified in the public record, its occurrence confirms a failure in the company's duty to safeguard private data.

The exposed data includes Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Mailing Address, and Phone Number. The compromise of such comprehensive records, particularly Social Security Numbers and Direct Deposit Account Details, creates a significant risk for affected individuals. This information can be exploited for identity theft, fraudulent financial transactions, and other forms of cybercrime, potentially leading to long-term financial and personal distress.

As a commercial entity entrusted with personal and financial data, Seufert Construction & Supply Co Inc was legally obligated to implement robust security measures to protect this information. Under Indiana state law, as well as broader common law negligence principles and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, companies must maintain reasonable safeguards appropriate for the sensitive nature of the data they collect. The occurrence of this data breach suggests that critical security protocols may have been insufficient or improperly applied, indicating a potential lapse in their legal obligations.

You do not necessarily need to have experienced immediate financial loss to pursue a claim; the increased risk of future harm is often sufficient under the law.
