Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the OR Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on March 12, 2025. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is October 10, 2024.
From the AG filing description
Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC operates within the vital energy and natural resources sector, overseeing complex extraction, refining coordination, logistics, and corporate asset management. Because of its pivotal role in the energy supply chain, the company maintains extensive administrative operations that require handling vast repositories of confidential records. This includes comprehensive personnel files, executive communications, vendor banking details, proprietary geological leasing contracts, and intricate payroll structures. To sustain its multi-state operations, Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC routinely processes and stores sensitive personally identifiable information belonging to current and former employees, independent contractors, and business partners. In 2025, Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC officially reported a major data security incident to the Oregon Attorney General. While the exact vector remains under investigation, cyberattacks targeting energy sector management firms typically involve sophisticated ransomware deployments, credential harvesting, or unauthorized intrusions into centralized enterprise databases and cloud environments. Given the high-value nature of corporate and employee data in the energy industry, threat actors frequently exploit vulnerabilities in third-party software or corporate networks to exfiltrate bulk files before security teams can detect or neutralize the breach. The exposure resulting from the Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC incident encompasses a dangerous array of sensitive information, including full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, banking details, and tax documentation. The compromise of such high-risk data creates immediate and severe dangers for affected individuals. Social Security numbers and dates of birth serve as the master keys for identity theft and fraudulent credit applications, while compromised banking and direct deposit details leave victims vulnerable to direct financial account takeover and unauthorized fund transfers. Furthermore, leaked tax and payroll records provide bad actors with the precise leverage needed to perpetrate sophisticated corporate or individual tax fraud. Under Oregon state data privacy laws, as well as general common-law duties of care, Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC had a stringent legal obligation to implement and maintain robust, industry-standard cybersecurity measures to protect the sensitive personal information entrusted to it. Corporations holding high-value PII are required to utilize advanced encryption, maintain active network monitoring, conduct regular vulnerability assessments, and enforce strict access controls. The occurrence of a successful data breach strongly indicates potential negligence and a failure to meet these foundational security obligations, leaving the company vulnerable to legal scrutiny for inadequate data protection practices. Receiving a data breach notification letter from Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC serves as formal confirmation that your confidential information was compromised due to corporate security failures, establishing immediate legal standing to participate in a class action lawsuit. Affected individuals do not need to wait until they experience actual financial loss or identity theft to take legal action; the increased risk of future harm and the necessity of spending time and money on credit monitoring are sufficient grounds. Our firm is currently investigating potential claims against Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are never any out-of-pocket costs or fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
You may have been affected by the Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC data breach if:
Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
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.
Applicable State Law
This breach was reported under the Oregon Consumer Information Protection Act, which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.
No. Under Oregon Consumer Information 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.
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 Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC 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 Trinity Petroleum Management, LLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
