Check My Rights →PYRAMID ADVISORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP D/B/A PYRAMID GLOBAL HOSPITALITY was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the IL Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on August 14, 2025.
Pyramid Advisors Limited Partnership, operating as Pyramid Global Hospitality, stands as a prominent enterprise in the hospitality management sector. The company oversees operations for a vast portfolio of hotels, resorts, and conference centers across the United States. In the course of managing these properties, Pyramid Global Hospitality collects, processes, and stores an extensive volume of sensitive personal and financial data. This includes comprehensive records for current and former employees, corporate travelers, and guests, necessitating the collection of names, banking details, tax forms, and identification credentials required for payroll, human resources administration, and reservation processing. The security incident reported to the Illinois Attorney General involving Pyramid Global Hospitality highlights the escalating vulnerabilities faced by organizations operating extensive enterprise networks and third-party vendor ecosystems. While the precise mechanics of the breach continue to be scrutinized, security incidents of this nature typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks, such as unauthorized access to centralized databases, ransomware deployment, or compromise of administrative credentials. In the hospitality and property management industry, fragmented IT infrastructures and decentralized point-of-sale or employee management systems often create multiple vectors for unauthorized actors to infiltrate corporate networks and exfiltrate sensitive files undetected. Preliminary indications suggest that the breach compromised a broad spectrum of sensitive information, exposing individuals to severe risks of identity theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized account access. Depending on the precise scope of the compromised files, exposed data elements likely include full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, banking and direct deposit information, and home addresses. For employees and personnel whose records are maintained within the company's human resources and payroll systems, the exposure of tax identification and wage details creates an immediate danger of fraudulent tax filings, unauthorized credit applications, and targeted phishing schemes that exploit personal employment history. As an entity entrusted with sensitive personal information, Pyramid Global Hospitality had clear legal obligations under state data protection statutes, common law negligence principles, and federal standards to implement and maintain robust cybersecurity safeguards. These obligations required the company to utilize advanced encryption, maintain up-to-date firewall protections, conduct regular vulnerability assessments, and establish stringent access controls. The occurrence of a widespread data breach strongly suggests potential failures in fulfilling these duties, raising serious questions regarding whether the company deployed adequate administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect the private data entrusted to its care. Receiving a data breach notification letter from Pyramid Global Hospitality is a formal acknowledgment that your private information was compromised due to corporate security failures. Legally, this notification establishes the foundation and standing necessary to participate in a class action lawsuit seeking accountability, restitution, and enhanced data protection measures. Under prevailing legal standards, affected individuals may pursue claims without needing to demonstrate immediate out-of-pocket financial loss, as the increased risk of future identity theft and the forced expenditure of time and resources constitute actionable harm. Our firm handles these complex data privacy cases on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are never any out-of-pocket costs or legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation 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.
Under the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), you may have a legal claim against PYRAMID ADVISORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP D/B/A PYRAMID GLOBAL HOSPITALITY if any of the following apply:
Applicable law: This breach was reported under the Illinois Personal Information Protection Act (PIPA), which establishes your right to seek damages from PYRAMID ADVISORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP D/B/A PYRAMID GLOBAL HOSPITALITY.
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 PYRAMID ADVISORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP D/B/A PYRAMID GLOBAL HOSPITALITY 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 PYRAMID ADVISORS LIMITED PARTNERSHIP D/B/A PYRAMID GLOBAL HOSPITALITY during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
