Cushman & Wakefield, a major commercial real estate services firm, reported a data breach incident to the Indiana Attorney General on August 7, 2026. This security event, which occurred on April 21, 2026, compromised sensitive personal data maintained within the company's systems.

The exposed information includes a dangerous combination of personal details. Specifically, the breach may have involved your Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Mailing Address, and Banking Institution Details. The exposure of such comprehensive data puts affected individuals at a high risk for identity theft, financial fraud, and other serious consequences.

Companies that collect and store sensitive personal data have a legal obligation to protect it from unauthorized access. This duty involves implementing robust security measures to prevent breaches. When a company fails to adequately secure this information, as may have happened here, it can be held accountable for the resulting harm to individuals.

What to do if you were affected

Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.

  • Freeze your credit

    Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.

  • Guard against tax fraud

    File your tax return as early as possible and consider requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN so no one can file a fraudulent return in your name.

  • Watch your financial accounts

    Review bank and card statements for unfamiliar activity and turn on transaction alerts. Report anything you don't recognize to your bank right away.

  • Stay alert to targeted scams

    Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.

  • Keep your notification letter

    Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
