What we know

Baker & McKenzie LLP has confirmed a data security incident that may have exposed personal information. The firm reported this event to the Indiana Attorney General on October 27, 2026, following its discovery on August 14, 2026. If you received a notification letter, your data might have been involved.

While the specific nature of the attack remains unspecified in the public record, it led to unauthorized access to systems containing personal information. Baker & McKenzie LLP is currently monitoring the situation. The firm has begun notifying individuals whose data may have been compromised during this event.

When personal information is exposed in a data breach, it creates a risk of identity theft, fraud, and other malicious activities. Attackers often try to use stolen data to open new accounts, make unauthorized purchases, or gain further access to other personal systems. Staying vigilant about your personal accounts is crucial after such an incident.

It is important to remain proactive. Review any offers of credit monitoring or identity protection services provided by Baker & McKenzie LLP and consider enrolling if you haven't already. Regularly check your financial statements, credit reports, and any other accounts linked to your personal information for suspicious activity.

Consider placing a fraud alert or a security freeze on your credit reports with all three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion). This can help prevent unauthorized parties from opening new credit in your name. If you are concerned about how this breach might affect you, discussing your situation with an attorney could provide clarity on your legal rights and options.
