Delicio Coal Fired LLC was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IN Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on June 29, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is January 2, 2026.
From the AG filing description
Delicio Coal Fired LLC operates within the hospitality, restaurant, and franchise food service sector, running a specialized chain of coal-fired brick oven dining establishments across the Midwest, including locations throughout Indiana. Because modern restaurant operations require complex backend infrastructure—ranging from point-of-sale (POS) systems and online reservation platforms to employee payroll processing and digital loyalty reward programs—Delicio Coal Fired LLC collects and maintains a vast repository of sensitive information. This includes not only the everyday transactional records of thousands of diners who patronize their eateries, but also deeply personal human resources and financial records for current and former kitchen staff, servers, and management personnel. In 2026, Delicio Coal Fired LLC formally reported a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General, triggering mandatory notification protocols under state consumer protection statutes. While specific technical forensics continue to emerge, breaches affecting restaurant management groups and hospitality chains typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks such as ransomware deployment, unauthorized access to centralized corporate databases, or vulnerabilities within third-party vendor platforms used for payment processing and employee management. Because the hospitality sector frequently relies on interconnected third-party software for reservations, payroll, and supply chain logistics, an intrusion at any single point of entry can expose enterprise-wide infrastructure to malicious actors. The exposure resulting from the Delicio Coal Fired LLC security incident encompasses multiple categories of sensitive data, each carrying distinct and severe risks for affected individuals. Compromised customer records often include full names, billing addresses, email contacts, and encrypted or unencrypted payment card information, exposing victims to immediate risks of credit card fraud, unauthorized charges, and financial account takeover. Furthermore, because restaurant corporations routinely process comprehensive onboarding and payroll files, employee records—including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, banking details, and wage information—are frequently swept up in these incidents. The exposure of such foundational identity data creates long-term hazards, leaving victims vulnerable to tax fraud, fraudulent loan applications, and identity theft that can persist for years. Under state and federal law, entities like Delicio Coal Fired LLC have a legal and common-law duty to implement and maintain reasonable security measures to protect consumer and employee data from unauthorized access and exfiltration. The Indiana Consumer Data Protection Act, alongside state deceptive trade practices statutes and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act, mandates that companies holding sensitive personally identifiable information utilize robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards—such as multi-factor authentication, network segmentation, and regular vulnerability assessments. The occurrence of a widespread data breach strongly indicates a failure to maintain these standard security protocols, suggesting potential negligence in failing to protect confidential information against foreseeable cyber threats. Receiving a data notification letter from Delicio Coal Fired LLC is a formal legal admission that your confidential information was compromised while under the company's custody and control. Under modern legal standards, the receipt of such a notice, coupled with the imminent risk of future identity theft or the mitigation time spent responding to the breach, establishes the legal standing necessary to pursue a class action lawsuit. Affected individuals do not need to wait until they suffer direct financial loss to seek accountability and compensation. Our firm investigates data breach cases on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning you pay 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 Delicio Coal Fired LLC 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.
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.
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 Delicio Coal Fired 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.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Delicio Coal Fired LLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
