Investigation notes

On April 21, 2026, Universal Pure LLC formally reported a data security incident to Indiana authorities, indicating that private information was compromised. The company identified the breach as occurring on or about July 10, 2024, nearly two years before the public disclosure to state regulators.

The compromised records include highly sensitive categories such as 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 exposure of these personal identifiers and financial details creates significant risk for potential identity theft, unauthorized credit openings, and targeted financial scams for those affected.

Our investigation will examine whether Universal Pure LLC upheld its duty to protect the extensive personal data it collected and stored. Businesses like Universal Pure LLC are legally obligated under Indiana laws to implement robust security measures to prevent unauthorized access. The occurrence of this breach suggests potential vulnerabilities in their administrative, physical, or technical safeguards that permitted unauthorized access to private employee data.

If you received a data breach notification letter from Universal Pure LLC, it is crucial to remain vigilant. We advise reviewing credit reports regularly for suspicious activity, considering placing fraud alerts or credit freezes with credit bureaus, and monitoring all financial statements closely for unauthorized transactions. Be wary of unsolicited communications asking for personal information, as these could be phishing attempts.

Individuals whose data was exposed in this incident may have legal avenues to seek recourse for the potential harm and inconvenience caused by the security lapse. Our firm is actively evaluating claims related to the Universal Pure LLC data breach and offers free consultations to help affected individuals understand their legal options, with no upfront costs.
