Tyree Oil Inc was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the OR Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on March 6, 2026. The breach or discovery date reported in the filing is June 28, 2025.
From the AG filing description
Tyree Oil Inc is a regional fuel distributor, lubricant supplier, and commercial petroleum products provider operating extensively throughout the Pacific Northwest. Because of its essential role in supplying commercial fleets, industrial enterprises, and residential customers, the company collects, processes, and stores a vast amount of sensitive information. This operational footprint requires maintaining comprehensive records on employees, commercial partners, independent contractors, and corporate clients, positioning the organization as a repository for valuable non-public data. In 2026, Tyree Oil Inc reported a data security incident to the Oregon Attorney General, joining a growing number of supply chain, energy, and distribution firms targeted by cybercriminals. While exact technical details vary in corporate disclosures, incidents within the energy and fuel distribution sector frequently involve sophisticated ransomware deployments, unauthorized entry into corporate network infrastructure, or the exploitation of vulnerable third-party vendor connections. In many similar attacks, unauthorized actors gain persistent access to internal file servers and enterprise resource planning systems, remaining undetected for weeks while exfiltrating proprietary operational databases and administrative records. Data breach notifications stemming from incidents in this sector typically reveal the exposure of highly sensitive personal information, including full names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, and banking or direct deposit details collected through payroll and vendor onboarding systems. The compromise of this data exposes affected individuals to severe, long-term risks. Social Security numbers and dates of birth form the core building blocks for synthetic identity theft and unauthorized credit applications, while compromised banking credentials can lead to direct financial account takeover, unauthorized wire transfers, and fraudulent tax filings. As a commercial enterprise managing private employee and business partner records, Tyree Oil Inc has a legal duty under common law and applicable state data protection standards, including the Oregon Consumer Identity Theft Protection Act, to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures and practices. Protecting sensitive personal information from unauthorized access is not merely an operational best practice; it is a legal requirement. A breach of this magnitude strongly indicates potential failures in network segmentation, access controls, vulnerability management, or employee cybersecurity training, raising serious questions about whether the company met its legal obligations to safeguard vulnerable data. Receiving a data breach notification letter from Tyree Oil Inc is a formal acknowledgment that your private information was compromised due to corporate security shortcomings. Under modern class action jurisprudence, victims of data breaches have legal standing to pursue compensation for the time, anxiety, and heightened risk of identity theft caused by a company's negligence, even before explicit financial fraud materializes. Our law firm is actively investigating potential class action claims on behalf of individuals impacted by this incident. We evaluate these cases on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket and owe no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
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.
You may have been affected by the Tyree Oil Inc data breach if:
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.
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.
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 Tyree Oil 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 Tyree Oil Inc during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
