Kern Energy Data Breach

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

Kern Oil & Refining Inc. does business as Kern Energy, an oil and refining company based in Bakersfield, California. In August of 2025, Kern Energy’s computer systems were targeted in a cyberattack. At that time, an unauthorized party accessed sensitive files stored there, possibly including names, addresses, birth dates, Social Security numbers, health insurance data and more.

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 receive a letter from Kern Energy notifying you that your private information was impacted in their data breach, contact us to find out if you may be eligible for compensation!
