IBEW Local 697 Data Breach

If so, your sensitive personal identifiable information may have been stolen!

The International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local 697 is a trade union based in Merrillville, Indiana which covers Lake and Newton Counties. Recently, IBEW Local 697 announced that their computer network was targeted in an August 2025 cyberattack. At that time, an unauthorized party gained access to private data stored in the IBEW Local 697 network and stole files which may have included names and Social Security numbers.

Data breaches are serious matters that can cause long term damage. Hackers break into networks so that they can steal your personal information to sell it on the dark web, commit identity theft, financial theft or other frauds. 

How do you know if you were affected? If you received a letter from IBEW Local 697 notifying you that your private information was impacted in their data breach, contact us to find out if you may be eligible for compensation!
