Investigations into this type of incident have indicated that a broad spectrum of highly sensitive personal information was exposed.

Under Indiana's consumer protection laws, entities maintaining personal information must take reasonable steps to secure their networks and data systems. The occurrence of this breach raises questions regarding the sufficiency of the company's data security practices.
