Linden Bancshares Inc DBA Texana Bank NA was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IN Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on January 9, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is July 9, 2025.
From the AG filing description
Linden Bancshares Inc, operating under the trade name Texana Bank NA, is a regulated financial institution providing essential banking services, commercial loans, wealth management, and retail deposit accounts to consumers and businesses. As a traditional bank and financial holding company, Texana Bank NA occupies a position of profound trust within the communities it serves, acting as a custodian for vast quantities of high-value personal and financial data. To facilitate checking accounts, mortgage applications, wire transfers, and commercial credit lines, the institution routinely collects, processes, and stores sensitive consumer records. This concentration of confidential information makes financial institutions prime targets for cybercriminals seeking to exploit digital infrastructure for monetary gain. In 2026, Linden Bancshares Inc DBA Texana Bank NA reported a significant data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General, triggering widespread concern among customers whose financial lives are tied to the institution. While the exact vector of the breach remains under active investigation, security incidents affecting banking institutions typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks such as unauthorized access to legacy customer databases, third-party vendor compromises within the digital banking ecosystem, or malicious ransomware deployments designed to encrypt proprietary and consumer-facing networks. In the financial sector, threat actors aggressively probe for vulnerabilities in online banking portals, internal communication channels, and administrative servers to extract deeply personal consumer records without immediate detection. The data compromised in incidents of this nature routinely includes highly sensitive identifiers such as full legal names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, bank account numbers, routing numbers, and transactional histories. Exposure of this information creates severe, long-term risks for affected individuals. Unlike a compromised email address, core financial identifiers cannot be easily reset or replaced. When Social Security numbers and bank account details fall into unauthorized hands, victims face an immediate and escalating threat of financial account takeover, unauthorized wire transfers, fraudulent loan applications, and devastating tax identity theft that can take years to untangle and resolve. As a financial institution operating in the United States, Linden Bancshares Inc DBA Texana Bank NA was bound by rigorous legal and regulatory obligations to safeguard consumer data, most notably under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) and applicable state data protection laws. The GLBA mandates that financial institutions establish comprehensive administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect customer nonpublic personal information against foreseeable threats and unauthorized intrusions. The occurrence of a data breach of this magnitude serves as a strong indication that these mandated security controls may have failed, potentially through inadequate network segmentation, delayed vulnerability patching, or insufficient employee security training. Receiving a data breach notification letter from Linden Bancshares Inc DBA Texana Bank NA is an official acknowledgement that your confidential information was compromised while under the bank's protection. Legally, this notification establishes the necessary standing to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the institution accountable for its security failures. You do not need to wait until you experience actual financial fraud or out-of-pocket loss to seek legal recourse. Our firm investigates data breach cases on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing and owe no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Based on the data types reported in this filing:

You may have been affected by the Linden Bancshares Inc DBA Texana Bank NA 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 Linden Bancshares Inc DBA Texana Bank NA 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 Linden Bancshares Inc DBA Texana Bank NA during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
