NC Engineers Board Reports Data Breach to Texas AG

The North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors has disclosed a data breach, filing a notice with the Texas Attorney General on May 19, 2026. This incident, which occurred on November 12, 2025, involved unauthorized access to the Board's systems, potentially compromising data they maintain for professional credentialing.

If you received a notification letter from the Board, it indicates that your personal information was likely among the data potentially accessed during this security event. As a state regulatory agency overseeing engineers and land surveyors, the Board handles sensitive records necessary for licensing and oversight.

The exposure of your personal information can create a risk for various forms of misuse, including identity theft and fraudulent activity. Even if you have not observed any immediate issues, it is important to remain vigilant as compromised data can be exploited over extended periods.

We advise those affected to take proactive steps. Regularly review any financial account statements and credit reports for unusual activity. Consider setting up fraud alerts or a credit freeze with major credit bureaus to add layers of protection. Always be wary of unsolicited communications that request personal details.

Understanding your rights and options after a data breach can be challenging. Our legal team focuses on representing consumers impacted by such incidents and can help assess what this situation means for you.
