ECFA recently reported a data breach that occurred on July 9, 2026, affecting individuals whose personal information was entrusted to the company. While the full scope of the incident is still under investigation, ECFA began notifying affected parties in Indiana about the exposure of their data following the August 12, 2026, filing.

The incident involved the potential compromise of personal information. It's important to recognize that any unauthorized access to your data carries inherent risks, even if the specific types of information exposed haven't been detailed. You should carefully review the notification letter sent by ECFA for any specific instructions they have provided.

If you've received a breach notification from ECFA, your first step should be to remain vigilant. Monitor your financial accounts and credit reports for any unusual activity. Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze on your files to prevent unauthorized use of your identity.

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.
