Was this a ransomware attack?

The filing does not say ransomware was involved. We do not label an incident ransomware unless the company’s report says so. Whatever the cause, the steps to protect yourself and the legal question are the same.

What we know

CHI Aviation appears to be a specialized aviation services company, likely providing air transport, logistics, and maintenance support for commercial or government clients. As a professional services entity in the aviation sector, the company typically collects and maintains sensitive personal information, including employee payroll records, contractor identification documents, and client contact details. This data breach was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized access to their systems occurred. If you received a data breach notification letter from CHI Aviation, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within their internal databases at the time of the incident. We are currently investigating the scope of this exposure to ensure that affected individuals understand the potential risks to their privacy and financial security.

After the CHI Aviation incident: what to do and your options

What should I do after getting the CHI Aviation data breach notice?
Keep the letter and the envelope, and note the date it arrived. Freeze your credit with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, change any passwords the notice mentions, and sign up for any free credit monitoring the letter offers. Then check whether you may have a claim.
Did CHI Aviation offer free credit monitoring?
Look for an enrollment code in your CHI Aviation notice. Companies that offer free credit monitoring after a breach usually include it there, with a deadline to activate. Using the free service won't stop you from joining a lawsuit or settlement later.
Can I sue CHI Aviation over the data breach?
It depends on what was exposed, the law in Indiana and your own state, and whether you've been harmed. Most people take part through a class action rather than suing alone. Keep your notification letter — it's the proof that connects you to the breach.
Do I need a CHI Aviation data breach lawyer or attorney?
Whether the company's systems were encrypted by ransomware or data was simply taken, the legal question is the same: did it protect your information the way the law requires? An attorney can review your notice for free, and these cases are usually handled on contingency.
Is there a CHI Aviation data breach class action lawsuit?
Law firms often open an investigation after a breach notice like this one, and a class action lawsuit may follow. This page doesn't confirm that a lawsuit has been filed against CHI Aviation. You usually don't have to join a class action to be included — if a settlement is reached, class members are notified and can file a claim.
Is the CHI Aviation data breach letter legit or a scam?
A notice from CHI Aviation in the mail matches the breach CHI Aviation reported to the Indiana Attorney General on April 26, 2025. Check that the company name and dates in your letter match that filing. A real notice of data security incident won't ask for your password, Social Security number or a payment — if it does, contact CHI Aviation through a phone number or website you find yourself.
How much could a CHI Aviation data breach settlement or claim be worth?
There is no set amount, and no CHI Aviation settlement is confirmed here. In past data breach settlements, payments depended on what data was exposed and on documented losses — fraud, out-of-pocket costs and time spent dealing with the breach. Keep receipts and records; they're what damages claims are built on.
