Innovative Scientific Solutions, LLC was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the TX Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on April 22, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is August 30, 2025.
From the AG filing description
Innovative Scientific Solutions, LLC operates within the advanced technology, research, and government contracting sectors, providing sophisticated scientific R&D, data analytics, and technical consulting services. Because of the sensitive and proprietary nature of their operations, the company routinely collects, processes, and stores vast repositories of highly confidential data. This includes detailed personnel files, specialized contractor background records, intellectual property, and extensive personally identifiable information belonging to employees, researchers, and external partners. Maintaining robust cybersecurity measures is paramount for an entity handling such high-value assets and sensitive data streams. In 2026, Innovative Scientific Solutions, LLC reported a significant data security incident to the Office of the Texas Attorney General. While the full forensic details continue to be evaluated, breaches affecting entities of this caliber typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks, such as unauthorized network intrusions, ransomware deployment, or third-party vendor compromises. Advanced threat actors frequently target scientific and technical contractors to exfiltrate proprietary research, intellectual property, and sensitive employee or contractor records. Such incidents often stem from vulnerabilities in network perimeters, inadequate endpoint monitoring, or exploited system misconfigurations. The exposure resulting from this incident encompasses a dangerous combination of sensitive personal records. Compromised information frequently includes full legal names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, banking details, and government or employment credentials. For individuals whose data was exposed, these categories create severe and immediate risks of identity theft, financial fraud, tax fraud, and targeted phishing scams. The exposure of foundational identifiers like Social Security numbers is particularly perilous, as this data cannot be easily altered and leaves victims vulnerable to long-term financial exploitation and unauthorized account openings. Under federal and state legal standards, including the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act and applicable federal data privacy guidelines, Innovative Scientific Solutions, LLC had a stringent legal obligation to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures to protect sensitive personal information. Organizations holding high-risk data are expected to employ robust encryption, multi-factor authentication, and continuous network monitoring. The occurrence of a data breach of this magnitude strongly suggests potential failures in fulfilling these legal duties, raising serious questions about the adequacy of the company's cybersecurity infrastructure and data governance policies. Receiving an official data breach notification letter from Innovative Scientific Solutions, LLC is a formal admission that your private information was compromised due to corporate security shortcomings. Legally, this notification establishes the standing necessary to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable. Affected individuals do not need to wait until financial loss or identity theft occurs to take legal action; the increased risk of future harm is sufficient. Our law firm handles these complex data privacy cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are never any out-of-pocket costs or fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Under the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act, you may have a legal claim against Innovative Scientific Solutions, LLC if any of the following apply:
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.
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.
No. Under Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection 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.
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 Innovative Scientific 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.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Innovative Scientific Solutions, LLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
