Caldwell Sutter Capital Inc was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IN Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on May 29, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is April 22, 2026.
From the AG filing description
Caldwell Sutter Capital Inc operates as a specialized financial institution, wealth management firm, and investment advisory corporation. In the course of managing high-net-worth portfolios, executing securities transactions, providing estate planning, and handling complex fiduciary services, the firm routinely collects, processes, and stores an extensive volume of highly sensitive personal and financial data. Because of the nature of wealth management and capital investment operations, Caldwell Sutter Capital Inc holds a profound amount of confidential information that makes it a prime target for sophisticated cybercriminal syndicates seeking to monetize stolen financial identities. In 2026, Caldwell Sutter Capital Inc formally reported a significant security incident to the Indiana Attorney General, alerting clients and regulatory authorities that unauthorized actors had gained access to its internal network and database systems. While investigations into such corporate breaches typically involve sophisticated ransomware deployments, credential harvesting, or compromised third-party vendor portals, an incident of this magnitude exposes systemic vulnerabilities within the organization's digital defenses. Financial institutions and wealth management firms are entrusted with continuous data flows, making any unauthorized intrusion a critical failure in maintaining the perimeter security required to safeguard proprietary client records. The data compromised during the Caldwell Sutter Capital Inc breach encompasses a dangerous nexus of personal identifying information and sensitive financial records. Exposure of full names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers leaves victims permanently vulnerable to synthetic identity fraud, where bad actors can open fraudulent credit lines, secure unauthorized loans, or drain separate banking accounts. Furthermore, the exposure of financial account numbers, routing numbers, investment portfolios, and tax documentation creates an immediate and severe risk of direct account takeover, wire fraud, and unauthorized asset transfers that can devastate an individual's financial stability. As a financial institution handling consumer assets and non-public personal information, Caldwell Sutter Capital Inc was bound by stringent federal and state regulatory mandates, most notably the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and the FTC Safeguards Rule. These legal frameworks require financial entities to implement robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect customer records against foreseeable threats. The occurrence of a widespread data breach strongly suggests a failure to maintain these mandatory security standards, potentially exposing the institution to severe legal liability for failing in its duty of care to protect private client data. Receiving a data breach notification letter from Caldwell Sutter Capital Inc is a formal acknowledgement that your private, sensitive information was exposed due to corporate negligence. Legally, the receipt of this letter establishes the concrete injury and standing necessary to participate in a class action lawsuit seeking accountability, restitution, and enhanced credit monitoring services. Importantly, affected individuals are not required to prove out-of-pocket financial loss to join a class action, as the increased risk of future identity theft constitutes a legally compensable harm. 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.
Based on the data types reported in this filing:
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.
You may have been affected by the Caldwell Sutter Capital Inc data breach if:
Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 Caldwell Sutter Capital Inc 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.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Caldwell Sutter Capital Inc during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
