Huntington County Child Support Office data breach

Clerk's notes

On September 17, 2026, the Huntington County Child Support Office disclosed a data security incident to the Indiana Attorney General. This report followed an unspecified breach that occurred on October 20, 2025, which has since placed the agency under ongoing monitoring regarding its data protection protocols.

The compromised information included a deeply personal and extensive set of data points. Specifically, the breach involved Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Home Address and Contact Information, Child Support Case and Court Records, and Dependent Children Information.

Exposure of such a comprehensive combination of identifiers and financial records carries significant risks. Affected individuals face an increased threat of identity theft, potential fraudulent financial activities, and unwanted intrusions into their private lives due to the release of sensitive family and personal details. The presence of direct deposit information and Social Security numbers is particularly concerning for financial security.

As a government entity entrusted with confidential public records, the Huntington County Child Support Office had a clear legal obligation under Indiana state data protection laws to safeguard this sensitive information. The occurrence of this breach indicates a potential failure to uphold these mandatory security standards, raising questions about the adequacy of their administrative, physical, and technical safeguards.
