Dordt University Data Breach Investigation

Jul 28, 2025 | News

Did you receive a data breach notice from Dordt University?

If so, your sensitive personal information may have been exposed—and you may be entitled to compensation!

What Happened?

  • In April 2024, Dordt University—a Christian university located in Sioux City, Iowa—discovered a ransomware attack on its systems.
  • A ransomware gang has claimed responsibility and stated that they accessed approximately 3 terabytes of data, impacting at least 34,251 students, faculty, and staff.
  • The breach exposed extensive personal, financial, and medical records.

What Information Was Compromised?

The stolen data may include:

  • Full names
  • Social Security numbers
  • Date of birth
  • Bank account and routing numbers
  • Health insurance and medical records
  • Usernames, passwords, and login credentials

Who Is Eligible for Compensation?

You may qualify for this class action investigation if:

  • You received a data breach notification from Dordt University
  • Your information was included in the April 2024 breach
  • You were a student, faculty member, staff, or otherwise affiliated with the university at that time

Why This Matters

Health and financial data are among the most sensitive personal information. When exposed, they can lead to:

  • Identity theft and fraud
  • Unauthorized banking or medical charges
  • Long-term credit damage
  • Selling of data on the dark web

Universities are legally obligated to protect student and employee data. Failure to do so may warrant legal action and compensation.

What You Could Receive

Compensation may include financial relief for:

  • Fraud losses
  • Time and expenses related to recovering from identity theft
  • Potential punitive damages against Dordt University
