Clerk's notes
CITGO Petroleum Corporation officially reported a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General on August 26, 2026. This disclosure concerns an event that originated on November 13, 2025. The company, an integral part of the nation's energy infrastructure, holds vast amounts of sensitive personal information.
Investigations indicate that the breach may have exposed specific categories of personal data. These include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Home Address, and Phone Number. The unauthorized release of such foundational identifiers creates a significant risk of identity theft, fraudulent credit applications, and targeted scams.
Given its extensive operations and critical role, CITGO Petroleum Corporation was obligated to maintain robust security protocols to protect the personal information entrusted to it. This includes implementing comprehensive technical, administrative, and physical safeguards. The occurrence of this data breach suggests that existing security measures may have been inadequate to prevent the unauthorized access and extraction of data.
Receiving an official data breach notification letter from CITGO Petroleum Corporation serves as a formal acknowledgment that your private information was compromised. This notification can establish the basis for seeking legal recourse, as the increased risk of future identity theft and the loss of data privacy are actionable injuries. You do not need to have already experienced financial loss to be affected.
Our firm reviews such complex data privacy cases on a contingency fee basis. This means there are no out-of-pocket costs for you unless we successfully secure a recovery on your behalf. If you received a data breach notice, considering a free case review can help determine your options.
