Data Exposed
The data held by Diller Telephone Company and Diode Communications — like that of most organizations that collect customer information — represents a comprehensive profile of affected individuals that, once assembled by bad actors, enables a range of fraudulent activities. The value of this data persists long after the breach is publicly disclosed, and vigilance is warranted for years following an exposure.
Diller Telephone Company and Diode Communications appears to be a telecommunications and internet service provider that offers phone, broadband, and network services to residential and business customers. As a utility and tech-adjacent service provider, they typically collect and store sensitive customer information, including names, billing addresses, contact details, account numbers, and financial or payment card information required for service provisioning and monthly billing. In 2025, the company officially reported a data breach to the Nebraska Attorney General's office following a security incident. If you received a data breach notification letter in the mail, it means your personal information may have been compromised in this security event. This page provides an overview of the incident and outlines the data types potentially exposed.
Based on the data types reported, affected individuals face:
Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.
What the Nebraska Financial Data Protection and Consumer Notification of Data Security Breach Act 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.
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.
No. Under Nebraska Financial Data Protection and Consumer Notification of Data Security Breach Act 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.
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.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Diller Telephone Company and Diode Communications 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 Diller Telephone Company and Diode Communications during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
