Greenberg Traurig, LLP, a leading global law firm, recently disclosed a data security incident to the Texas Attorney General. The breach, which occurred on August 26, 2026, was reported on October 2, 2026, and involved unauthorized access to sensitive personal data.
The compromised information includes individuals' Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Home Address, and Contact Information. The exposure of such detailed personal and financial data carries significant risks, including potential identity theft, fraudulent tax filings, and unauthorized financial transactions.
Under Texas law, organizations like Greenberg Traurig have a clear responsibility to safeguard the personal data entrusted to them. A breach of this nature suggests that the firm's security measures may have been insufficient to prevent unauthorized access, potentially falling short of their legal obligations to protect confidential information.
If you received a data breach notification letter from Greenberg Traurig, LLP, it is crucial to take proactive steps. You should regularly review your bank statements and credit card activity for any suspicious transactions. Additionally, consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit reports with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion.
Receiving an official notification letter indicates your information was exposed. This typically provides the legal basis to explore your options, including participating in a class action lawsuit to hold the responsible party accountable.

What to do if you were affected
Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.
Freeze your credit
Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.
Guard against tax fraud
File your tax return as early as possible and consider requesting an IRS Identity Protection PIN so no one can file a fraudulent return in your name.
Watch your financial accounts
Review bank and card statements for unfamiliar activity and turn on transaction alerts. Report anything you don't recognize to your bank right away.
Stay alert to targeted scams
Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.
Keep your notification letter
Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
