Check My Rights →Manpower of Lansing, MI Inc. was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the TX Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on August 12, 2025. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is December 29, 2024.
Manpower of Lansing, MI Inc. operates as a prominent franchise within the broader Manpower network, functioning as a vital link between corporate employers and the workforce. As a comprehensive staffing, recruitment, and human resources solutions provider, the company coordinates high-volume hiring, manages temporary and permanent placements, and administers payroll, benefits enrollment, and onboarding services for thousands of workers. In the course of executing these workforce solutions, Manpower of Lansing routinely collects, processes, and stores an immense volume of sensitive, personally identifiable information. Because they manage the entire lifecycle of employment—from initial job applications and background screenings to ongoing wage disbursements and tax withholdings—they maintain deep repositories of confidential data belonging to job seekers, current employees, and former workers alike. In 2025, security incident reports filed with the Texas Attorney General revealed that Manpower of Lansing suffered a data breach, exposing the private records entrusted to its systems. While details regarding the precise intrusion method continue to be evaluated, incidents affecting human resources and staffing organizations typically involve unauthorized network access, sophisticated ransomware deployments, or vulnerabilities within third-party vendor platforms used for applicant tracking and payroll administration. Staffing agencies present an attractive target for malicious actors precisely because they serve as central clearinghouses for high volumes of sensitive documentation submitted by multiple corporate clients and individual applicants daily. The breach compromised a wide array of core personnel and financial records, exposing information that creates severe, long-term risks for affected individuals. Because employment operations require extensive verification, the compromised data likely includes full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, banking details for direct deposit, and wage and tax withholding documents. When Social Security numbers and banking details are compromised, victims face an immediate and persistent threat of identity theft, synthetic account creation, unauthorized loans, and tax refund fraud. Furthermore, the exposure of direct deposit details places individuals at immediate risk of financial account takeover and unauthorized fund withdrawals. Under state and federal data protection mandates, including the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act and applicable sections of the Federal Trade Commission Act, organizations like Manpower of Lansing have an affirmative legal obligation to implement and maintain reasonable security measures to safeguard private consumer and employee data. These duties require maintaining robust encryption standards, conducting regular vulnerability assessments, and securing third-party access points. The occurrence of a successful network intrusion and subsequent data exfiltration strongly suggests potential failures in fulfilling these legal responsibilities, raising serious questions about whether adequate administrative, physical, and technical safeguards were actively enforced. Receiving an official data breach notification letter from Manpower of Lansing is a formal acknowledgment that your private information was compromised due to inadequate security protocols, and it serves as the foundation for legal standing to participate in a class action lawsuit. Under modern class action jurisprudence, affected individuals do not need to prove that they have already suffered actual financial fraud or out-of-pocket losses to seek legal redress; the increased, imminent risk of identity theft and the loss of privacy are legally cognizable injuries. Our firm is currently investigating potential legal claims against Manpower of Lansing on a contingency fee basis, meaning that affected workers and job applicants pay nothing out of pocket, and our attorneys only collect a fee if a successful recovery is secured on your behalf.
Based on the data types reported in this filing, affected individuals face the following specific risks:
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.
Phone numbers exposed in breaches are used for SIM swapping attacks — hijacking your number to bypass two-factor authentication on financial accounts.
Under the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act, you may have a legal claim against Manpower of Lansing, MI Inc. if any of the following apply:
Applicable law: This breach was reported under the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act, which establishes your right to seek damages from Manpower of Lansing, MI Inc..
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.
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.
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.
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 Manpower of Lansing, MI 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.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Manpower of Lansing, MI Inc. during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
