9TABB Inc on behalf of Crudem Foundation was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IN Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on February 17, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is August 14, 2024.
9TABB Inc, operating on behalf of the Crudem Foundation, functions within the complex ecosystem of international healthcare administration, philanthropic medical outreach, and hospital support services. Because the organization coordinates critical medical missions, facilitates patient care logistics, and manages comprehensive health support networks, it gathers and maintains vast repositories of deeply sensitive information. This includes not only the administrative records of donors and administrative personnel, but frequently vulnerable health data, clinical documentation, and identifying details of individuals connected to its healthcare delivery initiatives. The entity's role as a bridge between charitable medical support and operational healthcare delivery requires the collection and retention of high-value personal dossiers that make it an attractive target for malicious cyber actors seeking to harvest confidential information. In 2026, 9TABB Inc reported a significant data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General, triggering legal scrutiny regarding the adequacy of its cybersecurity infrastructure. While the exact technical vectors continue to be evaluated, breaches affecting organizations operating within the healthcare support and medical philanthropy sectors typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks such as unauthorized access to centralized cloud repositories, ransomware deployments, or third-party vendor compromises. In incidents of this nature, unauthorized actors often exploit vulnerabilities in network perimeters or compromise administrative credentials, allowing them to quietly infiltrate internal databases where sensitive files, donor records, and patient-adjacent medical data are stored. The exposure resulting from this security failure threatens victims with severe, long-term harms stemming from the compromise of sensitive personal and health-related information. Depending on the precise scope of the files accessed, affected individuals face a heightened risk of targeted identity theft, medical identity fraud—where unauthorized parties obtain medical care or bill insurance under another person's name—and financial account takeover. When sensitive personal identifiers, contact details, and administrative records are leaked into the public domain or traded on dark web forums, victims frequently experience years of heightened exposure, requiring constant monitoring of credit reports, medical billing statements, and financial accounts to detect unauthorized activity. As an entity handling sensitive personal and health-related information, 9TABB Inc on behalf of the Crudem Foundation was bound by rigorous legal and regulatory obligations to secure its digital environment. Under Indiana state data protection laws, as well as applicable federal frameworks like the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) Privacy and Security Rules if protected health information was involved, the organization had an affirmative duty to implement robust administrative, physical, and technical safeguards. These legal standards require continuous vulnerability management, encryption of data at rest and in transit, multi-factor authentication, and thorough vetting of third-party vendors. The occurrence of a data breach strongly indicates a potential failure to satisfy these foundational security obligations, leaving confidential networks vulnerable to unauthorized intrusion. Receiving an official data security notification letter from 9TABB Inc or the Crudem Foundation is a formal acknowledgment that your private information was compromised due to inadequate security measures. Legally, the receipt of this notice establishes the necessary standing to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the organization accountable for its cybersecurity failures. Under the law, victims are not required to demonstrate actual financial loss or identity theft to pursue legal remedies; the mere exposure of your confidential data constitutes a cognizable injury. Our law firm is currently investigating potential class action claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are never any out-of-pocket costs or attorney fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Based on the data types reported, affected individuals face:
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.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
What the Indiana data breach notification law and federal statutes entitle you to recover:
The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.
Once your SSN is exposed, protection becomes an ongoing expense. Plaintiffs in data breach settlements have recovered costs for credit freezes, identity protection subscriptions, and time spent dealing with fraudulent accounts — sometimes covering multiple years of exposure.
HIPAA violations carry civil penalties between $100 and $50,000 per violation. Where a healthcare organization's negligence led to the exposure of protected health information, class members may recover statutory damages in addition to actual losses.
Fees charged to close and reopen accounts, issue replacement cards, or dispute fraudulent transactions are recoverable in data breach litigation. So are the costs of overdrafts, late payments, and credit damage caused by unauthorized activity.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If 9TABB Inc on behalf of Crudem Foundation is a covered healthcare entity or business associate under HIPAA, affected patients have additional rights — including the right to an HHS complaint. These HIPAA violations also strengthen civil damages claims. Consult an attorney to understand your full remedies.
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.
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.
Accepting free credit monitoring from 9TABB Inc on behalf of Crudem Foundation 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.
