How the Breach Occurred

2Universal Pure LLC was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IN Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on April 21, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is July 10, 2024.

From the AG filing description

2Universal Pure LLC operates within the specialized sectors of high-volume commercial food processing, cold-chain logistics, and high-pressure processing (HPP) services. Because businesses of this scale manage complex supply chains, stringent food safety compliance, and extensive workforce management, they collect and maintain vast repositories of sensitive information. Beyond standard corporate records, 2Universal Pure LLC routinely processes comprehensive human resources data, payroll records, worker compensation files, and detailed employee vetting documents. This operational profile means the company serves as a centralized repository for deeply personal and financial records belonging to its workforce, administrative staff, and industry partners, creating an attractive target for malicious actors seeking high-value Personally Identifiable Information (PII). In 2026, 2Universal Pure LLC formally reported a significant data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General. While investigations into industrial and supply chain cyberattacks often center on sophisticated ransomware deployments, credential stuffing, or third-party vendor compromises, incidents of this magnitude typically involve unauthorized external access to internal administrative networks and secure server environments. Breaches affecting organizations in the manufacturing and logistics sector frequently exploit vulnerabilities in enterprise resource planning systems or remote access portals, allowing unauthorized parties to dwell within corporate networks undetected for extended periods and exfiltrate sensitive files before detection occurs. The exposure resulting from the 2Universal Pure LLC data breach encompasses a dangerous combination of sensitive data categories, including full legal names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, banking and direct deposit information, and tax identification documents. The compromise of Social Security numbers and tax records exposes victims to immediate and long-term risks of identity theft, unauthorized credit openings, and fraudulent tax filings designed to intercept government refunds. Furthermore, the leakage of banking and wage details leaves workers vulnerable to direct financial account takeover and targeted phishing schemes, creating ongoing financial stress and requiring permanent vigilance over personal credit profiles. As an entity handling sensitive employee and operational data within Indiana, 2Universal Pure LLC was bound by rigorous legal obligations under state consumer protection statutes and common-law principles of negligence to implement and maintain robust cybersecurity safeguards. These legal standards require organizations to utilize appropriate administrative, physical, and technical controls—such as multi-factor authentication, network segmentation, routine vulnerability assessments, and robust data encryption—to protect stored PII. The occurrence of a successful breach strongly suggests systemic failures in maintaining these security standards, indicating that the company may have fallen short of its legal duty to secure the private information entrusted to its care. Receiving a formal data breach notification letter from 2Universal Pure LLC serves as official legal confirmation that your confidential records were compromised as a direct result of corporate security shortcomings. Under modern class action jurisprudence, affected individuals possess the legal standing to pursue financial compensation for the anxieties, mitigation burdens, and risks imposed upon them, even before direct financial theft materializes. Our law firm is actively investigating this data breach on a contingency fee basis, meaning affected current and former workers pay absolutely nothing out of pocket, and fees are recovered only if a successful settlement or judgment is secured on your behalf.

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.

SIM Swap & Vishingmedium risk

Phone numbers exposed in breaches are used for SIM swapping attacks — hijacking your number to bypass two-factor authentication on financial accounts.

Who Was Impacted?

You may have been affected by the 2Universal Pure LLC data breach if:

  • You received a written data breach notification letter from 2Universal Pure LLC
  • You are or were a customer, patient, or employee of 2Universal Pure LLC
  • Your information was held by 2Universal Pure LLC in IN
  • Your bank or payment card data was potentially exposed

What the Law Gives You

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.

Emotional Distress

Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.

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.

Applicable State Law

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

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against 2Universal Pure LLC?

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 2Universal Pure LLC offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from 2Universal Pure LLC 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 2Universal Pure LLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
