How the Breach Occurred

Posillico Inc was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IN Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on January 13, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is December 8, 2025.

From the AG filing description

Posillico Inc operates as a prominent heavy civil construction and contracting firm, managing complex infrastructure, engineering, and large-scale public and private development projects. Because of the nature of its operations, the company routinely collects, processes, and stores vast quantities of highly sensitive data. This includes comprehensive personnel records, sub-contractor details, payroll information, banking accounts, tax documentation, and proprietary project blueprints. To maintain a skilled workforce and manage intricate supply chains, Posillico Inc maintains extensive databases containing Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of current and former employees, applicants, and business partners. In 2026, Posillico Inc reported a significant data security incident to the Office of the Indiana Attorney General, alerting affected individuals that their private information may have been compromised. While exact technical vectors in corporate contractor breaches frequently involve sophisticated ransomware deployments, credential harvesting, or unauthorized access to internal administrative networks, incidents of this scale typically stem from vulnerabilities in legacy infrastructure or third-party vendor integrations. Once unauthorized actors breach corporate perimeters, they often dwell undetected within the system, exfiltrating large volumes of confidential files before network defenses can isolate the threat. The breach exposed a critical array of sensitive data types, creating severe and ongoing risks for everyone involved. The exposure of Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and full legal names leaves victims immediately vulnerable to targeted identity theft, fraudulent credit card applications, and unauthorized loans opened in their names. Furthermore, the compromise of banking details, direct deposit routing numbers, and comprehensive wage and tax information opens the door to direct financial account takeovers and fraudulent tax filings. Unlike transient inconveniences, the theft of immutable identifiers like Social Security numbers places individuals at a lifetime risk of synthetic fraud. As an entity handling sensitive workforce and financial records, Posillico Inc was bound by strict legal duties under state and federal data protection frameworks, including the Indiana Disclosure of Security Breach Law and Section 5 of the Federal Trade Commission Act. These statutes mandate that companies implement robust administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect confidential consumer and employee data. The occurrence of a data breach of this magnitude serves as a strong indication that reasonable security measures may have been neglected, pointing to potential failures in maintaining adequate encryption, multi-factor authentication, or timely software patch management. Receiving an official data breach notification letter from Posillico Inc is a formal acknowledgment that your confidential information was compromised due to corporate security failures. Legally, this notification establishes your standing to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable for its negligence. Under the law, victims are not required to prove that they have already suffered actual financial loss to seek legal remedies; the increased, imminent risk of future identity theft and the necessity of purchasing credit monitoring services are legally cognizable damages. Our firm is currently investigating potential claims on behalf of all impacted individuals, operating strictly on a contingency fee basis, which means you pay nothing out of pocket and owe no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.

Check Your Eligibility

Under the Indiana data breach notification law, you may have a legal claim against Posillico Inc if any of the following apply:

  • You received a written data breach notification letter from Posillico Inc
  • You are or were a customer, patient, or employee of Posillico Inc
  • Your information was held by Posillico Inc in IN
  • Your bank or payment card data was potentially exposed

Exposed Data — What's at Risk

Based on the data types reported in this filing:

Identity Theftcritical risk

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.

Identity Verification Bypassmedium risk

Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.

SIM Swap & Vishingmedium risk

Phone numbers exposed in breaches are used for SIM swapping attacks — hijacking your number to bypass two-factor authentication on financial accounts.

Rights Under the Law

Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions

Time & Inconvenience

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.

Credit Monitoring & Identity Restoration

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.

Financial Losses & Fraudulent Charges

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.

Statutory Minimum Damages

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need proof that my data was misused to file a claim against Posillico Inc?

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.

How much does filing a claim cost?

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.

My Social Security Number was exposed. What should I do right now?

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.

My financial account data was exposed. Can the bank recover my losses?

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.

Is there a deadline to file a claim?

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.

What if Posillico Inc offered me free credit monitoring after the breach?

Accepting free credit monitoring from Posillico 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.

Do I need to have received a notice letter to be eligible?

Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Posillico Inc during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
