Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, Inc. was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the OR Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on April 21, 2025. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is December 12, 2024.
Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, Inc. operates as a specialized insurance brokerage and administrative services provider, acting as a critical nexus between employers, individuals, and major health and property-casualty insurance carriers. Because of its central role in managing comprehensive employee benefits, health insurance claims, premium billing, and enrollment portfolios, the company routinely collects and maintains vast repositories of deeply sensitive personal and financial data. This includes not only standard demographic and contact information, but also detailed underwriting files, employment records, and comprehensive health plan details necessary for administering complex insurance policies across diverse consumer bases. In 2025, Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, Inc. reported a significant cybersecurity incident to the Oregon Attorney General, joining a troubling wave of corporate data breaches affecting the insurance and financial services sector. In the insurance industry, such incidents typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks, such as unauthorized intrusions into centralized databases, ransomware deployment, or compromise of third-party administrative vendor networks. Insurers and brokers remain prime targets for malicious actors precisely because they serve as central clearinghouses for high-value personally identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI). The data compromised in incidents involving insurance and administrative providers frequently includes full names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, health insurance policy numbers, claims histories, and financial account details. The exposure of this information creates severe, multi-faceted risks for affected consumers. When Social Security numbers and birthdates are paired with specific insurance policy details, bad actors can easily facilitate medical identity theft, fraudulent insurance claims, tax fraud, and sophisticated financial account takeovers. Unlike transient data exposed in retail breaches, foundational identity markers like Social Security and policy numbers cannot be changed, leaving victims exposed to lifelong risks of synthetic fraud and unauthorized credit activity. As an entity handling sensitive consumer, financial, and healthcare-related information, Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, Inc. was bound by stringent regulatory frameworks, including state-level data protection statutes and, where applicable, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) and the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA). These legal frameworks impose affirmative duties on insurance organizations to implement robust administrative, technical, and physical safeguards, including multi-factor authentication, rigorous network monitoring, and routine data encryption. The occurrence of a widespread data breach strongly suggests systemic vulnerabilities and a failure to maintain reasonable security measures commensurate with the sensitive nature of the entrusted data. Receiving an official data breach notification letter from Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, Inc. serves as a legal acknowledgement that your confidential information was compromised due to inadequate corporate security. Under modern legal standards, the receipt of such a notification establishes the concrete legal standing necessary to participate in a class action lawsuit and seek financial restitution. Victims are not required to prove that they have already suffered actual financial loss to pursue legal remedies; the increased risk of future identity theft and the compelled time and expense required to monitor credit are recognized harms. Our firm investigates these matters on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning affected individuals pay zero upfront costs and owe no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on their behalf.
Based on the data types reported, affected individuals face:
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.
What the Oregon Consumer Information Protection 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.
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.
HIPAA violations carry civil penalties between $100 and $50,000 per violation. Where a healthcare organization's negligence led to the exposure of protected health information, class members may recover statutory damages in addition to actual losses.
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.
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 Oregon Consumer Information 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.
If Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, Inc. is a covered healthcare entity or business associate under HIPAA, affected patients have additional rights — including the right to an HHS complaint. These HIPAA violations also strengthen civil damages claims. Consult an attorney to understand your full remedies.
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 Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, 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.
