Tungsten Automation Corporation (f/k/a Kofax, Inc.) was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the CA Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on August 22, 2025. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is May 20, 2025.
From the AG filing description
Tungsten Automation Corporation, formerly known as Kofax, Inc., operates as a prominent intelligent automation and digital workflow software provider. Specializing in robotic process automation (RPA), cognitive capture, document intelligence, and electronic signature solutions, the company handles massive volumes of enterprise data for global businesses, financial institutions, and government agencies. Because its platforms are engineered to ingest, process, and extract information from millions of business documents—including invoices, human resources files, identity documents, and customer records—Tungsten Automation stores and processes extensive sensitive personal and corporate data. In 2025, Tungsten Automation Corporation reported a significant security incident to the California Attorney General. While the full mechanics of the breach continue to be scrutinized, incidents affecting enterprise software and digital workflow providers typically involve unauthorized access to centralized cloud repositories, compromise of third-party vendor infrastructure, or malicious exploitation of software vulnerabilities. In the context of an intelligent automation enterprise, attackers frequently target the underlying document repositories and databases where unstructured enterprise data, scanned identity verification documents, and administrative files are temporarily or permanently stored. The exposure resulting from this incident encompasses a dangerous combination of sensitive identifiers. Depending on the enterprise documents processed through their systems, exposed data categories likely include full names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, home addresses, financial account details, corporate credentials, and employment records. Each of these categories creates severe, enduring risks for affected individuals. A compromised Social Security number or date of birth opens the door to sophisticated identity theft, fraudulent credit card applications, and unauthorized tax filings. When combined with corporate or financial records, bad actors can orchestrate targeted spear-phishing campaigns, business email compromise, and full-scale financial account takeover. Under California data protection law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) and overarching state statutory negligence standards, Tungsten Automation Corporation had an affirmative legal obligation to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices appropriate to the nature of the personal information it collected. This duty requires robust encryption protocols, strict access controls, continuous network monitoring, and rigorous vendor risk management. The occurrence of a data breach of this scale strongly indicates a failure in these mandatory security controls, suggesting that vulnerabilities in their network architecture or internal defenses allowed unauthorized third parties to infiltrate systems containing confidential data. Receiving a data breach notification letter from Tungsten Automation Corporation is an official admission that your personal information was compromised due to their corporate security failure. Legally, this notification establishes the foundation and standing required to participate in a class action lawsuit aimed at holding the company accountable. Under applicable legal doctrines, affected individuals do not need to prove that they have already suffered actual financial fraud to seek legal redress; the increased, imminent risk of identity theft is sufficient. Our law firm is actively investigating this data breach on a contingency fee basis, meaning there are never any out-of-pocket costs or fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), you may have a legal claim against Tungsten Automation Corporation (f/k/a Kofax, Inc.) if any of the following apply:
Based on the data types reported in this filing:
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.
Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
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.
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.
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.
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 California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) 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 Tungsten Automation Corporation (f/k/a Kofax, 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 Tungsten Automation Corporation (f/k/a Kofax, Inc.) during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
