Data Exposed
MOTILITY SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS, INC. was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IL Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on August 19, 2025.
Motility Software Solutions, Inc. operates as a specialized technology company providing enterprise software solutions, management systems, and specialized digital infrastructure—most prominently within the automotive dealership and mobile asset management sectors. Because its platforms integrate deeply with customer relationship management systems, inventory tracking, financial transaction processing, and operational workflows, Motility routinely collects, processes, and stores vast quantities of highly sensitive information. This operational footprint requires the aggregation of comprehensive consumer dossiers, employee records, and business-critical data, positioning the company as a central data repository for thousands of individuals across the country. In 2025, Motility Software Solutions, Inc. reported a significant cybersecurity incident to the Illinois Attorney General, signaling a critical failure in digital defense mechanisms. Incidents affecting specialized software and enterprise tech providers typically involve sophisticated network intrusions, unauthorized access to centralized cloud databases, or vulnerabilities exploited within third-party vendor integrations. Because software providers often maintain expansive network access privileges and privileged credentials, a breach of this nature frequently allows unauthorized actors to bypass perimeter security, lingering undetected within corporate infrastructure to exfiltrate proprietary databases and confidential consumer files. The data compromised in this incident typically encompasses a dangerous amalgamation of personally identifiable information (PII) and financial identifiers, including full names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and banking or credit details. The exposure of this specific data combination creates profound risks for affected individuals. Social Security numbers and dates of birth are the foundational building blocks of identity theft, enabling cybercriminals to open fraudulent lines of credit, secure unauthorized loans, intercept tax refunds, and commit medical or government-sponsored fraud. Because these immutable data points cannot be easily changed like a password, victims face a lifetime of elevated vulnerability. Under state data protection statutes, including the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act, as well as overarching common-law negligence principles, Motility Software Solutions, Inc. had an affirmative legal duty to implement and maintain reasonable security measures to safeguard private consumer and employee data. This obligation requires robust encryption standards, regular vulnerability testing, stringent access controls, and rapid threat-monitoring protocols. The occurrence of a data breach of this scale strongly indicates a failure to maintain these baseline security safeguards, potentially exposing the company to significant liability for failing to protect sensitive files from foreseeable cyber threats. For individuals who have received a data breach notification letter from Motility Software Solutions, Inc., this communication serves as formal legal acknowledgment that your private information was exposed due to corporate negligence. Legally, the receipt of this notice establishes the standing required to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable for its security lapses. Affected individuals do not need to wait until they experience actual financial loss or identity theft to seek legal recourse; the increased risk of future harm is sufficient. Our firm evaluates these cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket and owe no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your 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.
Phone numbers exposed in breaches are used for SIM swapping attacks — hijacking your number to bypass two-factor authentication on financial accounts.
What the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) 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.
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 Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA) 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 MOTILITY SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS, 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 MOTILITY SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS, INC. during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
