Johnson-Peltier Electric, Inc., a significant electrical contracting and engineering firm operating in California, reported a data breach on May 28, 2026. This security incident, which is believed to have occurred on or around March 10, 2026, compromised sensitive personal and financial information belonging to an unspecified number of individuals.
The exposed data includes Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Home Address, and Phone Number. The combination of these data types creates substantial long-term risks for those affected. Your Social Security Number and Date of Birth are core components for identity theft, allowing criminals to open fraudulent accounts or apply for credit in your name. Moreover, compromised financial information, including Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, and Direct Deposit Account Details, could lead to fraudulent tax filings or direct financial account takeover.
As a company handling extensive employee data, Johnson-Peltier Electric was legally obligated under California law to implement and maintain robust security measures to protect this confidential information. The occurrence of a data breach strongly suggests that these foundational security duties may have been breached, leaving personal records vulnerable to unauthorized access.
If you have received an official data breach notification letter from Johnson-Peltier Electric, Inc., it confirms that your personal information was compromised in this incident. Importantly, you do not need to have already suffered financial loss or identity theft to pursue a claim; the increased risk of future harm can be sufficient.
