The Trucking Employees of North Jersey Welfare Fund Inc, which manages health and welfare benefits for unionized trucking and transportation workers, recently reported a data breach to the Indiana Attorney General. This incident, reported in February 2026, impacts the highly confidential information the fund holds for its members and their dependents. While details on how the breach occurred are under investigation, such events often involve sophisticated cyberattacks targeting sensitive databases.
The compromised data is reported to include a wide range of sensitive personal and health information. Specifically, Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Health Insurance ID Number, Medical Claim and Treatment History, Home Address, Employment and Union Membership Records, and Banking Information for Benefit Distributions were exposed.
