How the Breach Occurred

Costa Solutions LLC was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IN Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on September 9, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is April 15, 2026.

Costa Solutions LLC operates within the logistics, warehousing, and supply chain management sector, providing critical third-party operational support, inventory management, and labor services to major commercial enterprises. Because of its core business model, the company acts as a vital link between corporate supply chains and a large, mobile workforce. To function effectively, Costa Solutions maintains extensive human resources, payroll, and operational databases containing deep personal information for current and former employees, independent contractors, and administrative personnel. This operational framework requires the continuous collection and retention of highly confidential records, establishing the company as a significant repository of sensitive individual data. The security incident reported by Costa Solutions LLC to the Indiana Attorney General involves a cybersecurity compromise that exposed sensitive digital infrastructure to unauthorized third parties. In incidents of this nature within the logistics and supply chain sector, attackers frequently target centralized HR databases, legacy administrative servers, or third-party vendor access points. Whether executed through targeted ransomware deployment, credential harvesting, or exploitation of vulnerable enterprise software, such breaches allow unauthorized actors to infiltrate internal networks and exfiltrate vast quantities of unencrypted files before detection occurs. The data compromised in the Costa Solutions LLC incident encompasses a wide array of sensitive personal identifiers, each carrying severe risks of long-term harm. Exposure of full names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers creates an immediate and persistent danger of identity theft and fraudulent credit applications. Furthermore, the inclusion of wage, tax, and direct deposit details exposes victims to payroll diversion schemes and fraudulent tax filings. Because these records often include detailed home addresses and contact information, affected individuals face heightened vulnerabilities to targeted phishing campaigns, social engineering attacks, and secondary financial fraud that can persist for years. Under state and federal law, entities like Costa Solutions LLC have an affirmative legal obligation to implement reasonable and appropriate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to secure sensitive personal and financial data. The Indiana Data Protection Act, alongside common law negligence principles and the standards established by the Federal Trade Commission Act, mandates that companies maintain robust cybersecurity measures, including multi-factor authentication, network segmentation, and regular vulnerability assessments. The occurrence of a significant data breach strongly suggests a failure in these mandatory security protocols, raising serious questions regarding whether the company neglected its duty to protect private information. Receiving an official data breach notification letter from Costa Solutions LLC serves as formal acknowledgment that your private information was compromised due to corporate security failures. Legally, this notice establishes your standing to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable for its negligence and securing compensation for the risks and burdens imposed upon you. Importantly, affected individuals are not required to demonstrate actual financial loss or identity theft to pursue legal remedies; the increased risk of future harm and the necessary defensive measures taken are sufficient. Our firm evaluates these cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket and owe no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.

Risk Analysis — Exposed Data

Based on the data types reported in this filing, affected individuals face the following specific risks:

Identity Theftcritical

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

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

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

§ IV

Who Was Impacted?

Under the Indiana data breach notification law, you may have a legal claim against Costa Solutions LLC if any of the following apply:

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

Applicable law: This breach was reported under the Indiana data breach notification law, which establishes your right to seek damages from Costa Solutions LLC.

§ V

Rights Under the Law — Compensation Available

01
Lost Time & Remediation Costs

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.

02
Identity Theft Protection Costs

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.

03
Banking & Account Fees

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.

04
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.

§ VI

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against Costa Solutions 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 Costa Solutions LLC offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

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