Project Consulting Services, Inc. was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the TX Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on June 10, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is February 25, 2026.
Project Consulting Services, Inc. operates as a specialized professional and technical services firm, frequently partnering with major infrastructure, energy, engineering, and corporate entities to manage complex project lifecycles. Because of the sophisticated nature of their operations, the company routinely collects, processes, and stores an extensive volume of highly sensitive information. This includes comprehensive personnel records, confidential contractor onboarding data, payroll details, banking information, tax identification numbers, and proprietary corporate intelligence. The scale of their enterprise operations means they maintain deep repositories of personally identifiable information belonging to current and former employees, subcontractors, and corporate partners. In 2026, Project Consulting Services, Inc. reported a significant cybersecurity incident to the Office of the Texas Attorney General. While the precise mechanics of the breach are still being scrutinized by forensic investigators, incidents affecting sophisticated professional services firms typically involve sophisticated external network compromises, unauthorized access to centralized databases, or credential-harvesting attacks targeting internal administrative systems. When threat actors successfully infiltrate corporate environments housing corporate and human resources data, they often exploit vulnerabilities in legacy infrastructure, third-party vendor connections, or inadequately secured remote access gateways, resulting in the exfiltration of confidential files before detection occurs. The data compromised in this security incident likely encompasses a dangerous combination of core identity and financial elements, including full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, banking details, and wage or compensation information. The exposure of this specific constellation of data points creates profound and immediate risks for affected individuals. Unlike simple email addresses or usernames, immutable identifiers like Social Security numbers and dates of birth cannot be easily changed. When placed in the hands of malicious actors, this information serves as the foundational toolkit for synthetic identity fraud, unauthorized credit applications, fraudulent tax return filings, and sophisticated spear-phishing campaigns designed to compromise personal financial accounts. As an entity entrusted with sensitive personal information, Project Consulting Services, Inc. was bound by stringent legal and common-law duties to implement and maintain reasonable cybersecurity safeguards. Under Texas data protection statutes, including the Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act, companies holding sensitive personal data of state residents have an affirmative obligation to protect that information from unauthorized access, acquisition, or disclosure. The occurrence of a widespread data breach strongly suggests a potential failure in these security protocols—such as failing to maintain robust encryption standards, neglecting timely system patching, or omitting multi-factor authentication for sensitive repositories—thereby violating both statutory mandates and implied contracts of data security. Receiving a formal data breach notification letter from Project Consulting Services, Inc. is a formal acknowledgment that your private information was compromised due to corporate negligence. Legally, the receipt of this notice establishes the concrete injury and standing necessary to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable. Affected individuals do not need to wait until they experience actual financial fraud or identity theft to seek legal recourse and demand compensation for the heightened, imminent risk of harm, mitigation time, and anxiety caused by the breach. Our firm is actively investigating this matter on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are never any out-of-pocket costs or attorney 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 Texas Identity Theft Enforcement and Protection Act 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 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.
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.
