Data Exposed
Project Consulting Services Inc was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IN Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on June 9, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is February 25, 2026.
Project Consulting Services Inc operates as a specialized professional services and business advisory firm, frequently partnering with corporate clients, government agencies, and industrial sectors to manage complex project lifecycles, engineering coordination, and administrative operations. Because of its central role in managing high-level logistics, workforce coordination, and enterprise-level operations, the company routinely collects, processes, and stores vast quantities of highly sensitive personal and corporate data. This repository typically includes comprehensive personnel records, confidential client deliverables, proprietary operational strategies, and detailed financial accounting records necessary for executing large-scale consulting engagements across multiple jurisdictions, including Indiana. In 2026, Project Consulting Services Inc reported a significant data security incident to the Office of the Indiana Attorney General. While the precise vectors of the breach are still under active investigation, security incidents affecting consulting and professional service firms generally involve sophisticated cyberattacks such as unauthorized intrusion into internal server infrastructure, compromised enterprise credentials, or third-party vendor vulnerabilities. Because these organizations often maintain interconnected networks to facilitate collaboration across distributed project teams, a single point of failure can grant malicious actors broad access to centralized file repositories, employee databases, and client management systems without immediate detection. Preliminary indications suggest that the breach compromised an array of sensitive information, exposing individuals to severe risks of identity theft and financial fraud. The exposed data categories routinely handled by firms like Project Consulting Services Inc often include full legal names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, banking details for direct deposit or payroll, tax withholding documents, and internal performance or identification records. When Social Security numbers and financial details are compromised, victims face an elevated, long-term risk of unauthorized credit applications, fraudulent tax return filings, and the takeover of existing financial accounts. This exposure strips individuals of their fundamental privacy and forces them to spend countless hours monitoring credit reports and securing their personal finances. As an entity entrusted with confidential personal and corporate data, Project Consulting Services Inc was bound by strict legal and professional obligations to maintain robust cybersecurity measures. Under state data breach notification statutes and common-law negligence principles, companies handling sensitive personal identifiable information must implement reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards—such as multi-factor authentication, network segmentation, regular vulnerability assessments, and robust encryption protocols—to protect data from external threats. The occurrence of a data breach of this magnitude strongly suggests potential failures in these security obligations, raising serious questions about whether the company deployed adequate defenses to secure its network against foreseeable cyber intrusions. Receiving a data breach notification letter from Project Consulting Services Inc is a formal acknowledgment that your private information was compromised due to inadequate corporate security practices. Legally, the receipt of this letter establishes the basis for legal standing, allowing affected individuals to participate in class action litigation aimed at holding the company accountable for its security lapses. Importantly, victims do not need to demonstrate that they have already suffered actual financial loss or identity theft to pursue legal remedies; the increased risk of future harm and the administrative burden of mitigation are sufficient under the law. Our firm is actively investigating potential class action claims against Project Consulting Services Inc on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are never any out-of-pocket costs or 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.
What the Indiana data breach notification law 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.
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 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 Project Consulting Services 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 Project Consulting Services Inc during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
