Exposed Data — What's at Risk

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.


Were You Affected?

Under the Indiana data breach notification law, you may have a legal claim if:

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

What the Law Gives You

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 2Washington International School?

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 2Washington International School offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

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