What Happened

101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IN Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on September 16, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is March 26, 2026.

From the AG filing description

101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company operates as a sophisticated professional services, financial advisory, and outsourced operations provider. Serving as an extension of corporate finance, accounting, and human resources departments, the firm routinely manages intricate back-office functions for growing enterprises. Because of this specialized role, 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company maintains deep access to sensitive corporate infrastructure, holding vast repositories of confidential employer and employee data. This includes comprehensive payroll processing records, direct deposit instructions, corporate tax documents, and deeply personal employee identification files necessary for executing day-to-day administrative and financial workflows. In 2026, 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company officially reported a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General, signaling that unauthorized actors may have breached their digital environment. While the exact vector remains under investigation, incidents involving professional services and financial administration firms typically stem from sophisticated third-party vendor compromises, credential harvesting, or network intrusions that target centralized databases storing high-value corporate and personnel files. Because these firms act as clearinghouses for multiple business entities, a single security lapse can ripple across numerous corporate clients and compromise thousands of individual records simultaneously. Information exposed in this breach likely encompasses a highly sensitive mix of corporate and personal identifiers, including Full Names, Social Security Numbers, Dates of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, and Direct Deposit Account Details. The exposure of this specific data combination creates severe, immediate risks for affected individuals. Compromised Social Security numbers and tax documents provide malicious actors with the exact building blocks needed to commit identity theft, file fraudulent tax returns in the victim's name, or open unauthorized lines of credit. Furthermore, exposed wage and banking details put individuals at heightened risk of direct financial account takeover and targeted phishing schemes. As a professional services and financial administration entity, 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company is bound by stringent legal obligations to safeguard the sensitive information entrusted to its care. Under state consumer protection statutes, federal guidelines, and common-law negligence standards, companies operating in this sector must implement robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—such as multi-factor authentication, encryption, and continuous network monitoring—to protect confidential client and employee data. The occurrence of this security incident strongly suggests potential failures in upholding these mandatory cybersecurity standards, raising critical questions about whether adequate defensive measures were deployed. Receiving a data breach notification letter from 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company serves as formal legal notice that your private information was compromised due to inadequate security practices. Under modern jurisprudence, this notification establishes your legal standing to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable for failing to protect your data. You do not need to prove that you have already suffered actual financial loss to seek legal recourse; the increased, imminent risk of future identity theft is legally sufficient. Our firm evaluates these cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay absolutely nothing out of pocket, and we only collect a fee if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.

Who Was Impacted?

Under the Indiana data breach notification law, you may have a legal claim against 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company if any of the following apply:

  • You received a written data breach notification letter from 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company
  • You are or were a customer, patient, or employee of 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company

Exposed Data — What's at Risk

Based on the data types reported in this filing:

Identity Theftcritical risk

Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.

Identity Verification Bypassmedium risk

Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.

Your Legal Rights

Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions

Time & Inconvenience

Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.

Credit Monitoring & Identity Restoration

Professional credit monitoring services cost $10–$40 per month. Identity theft restoration services, if needed, can cost hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Courts have awarded these costs as direct damages in SSN breach cases.

Financial Losses & Fraudulent Charges

Direct financial losses resulting from the breach — unauthorized charges, fraudulent transfers, or fees incurred through fraud — are recoverable as compensatory damages. Banks may reverse some charges; a class action recovers the remainder and associated costs.

Statutory Minimum Damages

Several state data breach laws provide for statutory minimum damages — fixed amounts recoverable per affected individual regardless of actual loss. These provisions exist specifically to make legal action viable for victims who have not yet experienced direct harm.

Note: an attorney general breach filing does not by itself establish a settlement fund, a payment amount, or a claim deadline. If an official settlement notice is later issued, rely on that notice for payment details and deadlines.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company?

No. Under Indiana data breach notification law and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.

How much does filing a claim cost?

Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.

My Social Security Number was exposed. What should I do right now?

Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.

My financial account data was exposed. Can the bank recover my losses?

Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.

Is there a deadline to file a claim?

State statutes of limitations for data breach claims typically run 2–4 years from the date of the breach or its discovery. Because this breach was recently disclosed, the window is open — but acting early preserves your options and strengthens the case.

What if 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.

Do I need to have received a notice letter to be eligible?

Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by 101AVL Growth Partners, an Ampleo Company during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.

Applicable State Law

This breach was reported under the Indiana data breach notification law, which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.
