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

This data breach was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized access to these systems occurred. If you received a data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was likely stored within the affected systems. We are currently investigating the circumstances of this incident to determine the scope of the exposure and the potential impact on those whose data was compromised.
