What we know

Five States Energy Company LLC recently reported a security incident to the Indiana Attorney General on March 26, 2026. As an energy company, they maintain sensitive files containing consumer personal information in the regular course of business. Although the exact number of affected individuals has not been publicly disclosed, the official filing confirms that unauthorized parties gained access to this sensitive data. When personal information is exposed in a data breach, it creates ongoing risks for the individuals involved because this data can be used to impersonate you. Unauthorized access to your personal details opens the door to targeted phishing scams, unauthorized credit applications, and potential identity theft that can take months to resolve. Because personal information cannot be easily changed like a password, victims often have to monitor their financial accounts and credit reports for years to protect themselves. If you received a notification letter in the mail from Five States Energy Company LLC, your personal information may have been compromised in this breach. You may be eligible to participate in a class action investigation and can contact our firm for a free case review with no upfront fees.
