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

Silgan Dispensing is a global manufacturing company specializing in the design and production of highly engineered pumps, sprayers, and dispensing closures for consumer goods. As a large-scale industrial manufacturer, the company typically collects and maintains sensitive personal information related to its employees, contractors, and business partners, including payroll records, tax documentation, and human resources files. This security incident was officially reported to the Indiana Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized access to their internal systems occurred. If you received a data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal information was stored within the affected environment. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the identity monitoring services being offered by the company.

After the Silgan Dispensing incident: what to do and your options

What should I do after getting the Silgan Dispensing 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 Silgan Dispensing offer free credit monitoring?
Check your letter from Silgan Dispensing. If free credit or identity monitoring is offered, the enrollment code and deadline are printed in the notice itself. Using the free service won't stop you from joining a lawsuit or settlement later.
Can I sue Silgan Dispensing 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 Silgan Dispensing 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 Silgan Dispensing 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 Silgan Dispensing. 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 Silgan Dispensing data breach letter legit or a scam?
A notice from Silgan Dispensing in the mail matches the breach Silgan Dispensing reported to the Indiana Attorney General on April 25, 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 Silgan Dispensing through a phone number or website you find yourself.
How much could a Silgan Dispensing data breach settlement or claim be worth?
There is no set amount, and no Silgan Dispensing 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.
