Chemical & Industrial Engineering Inc, an Indiana-based company, filed a notice with state regulators on April 7, 2026, confirming a data breach. The company indicated that the cybersecurity incident occurred on or about June 10, 2025, although the specific nature of the breach was not disclosed in the public filing.

The compromised data categories, as reported by Chemical & Industrial Engineering Inc, included Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Mailing Address, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, and Professional Certification Records.

Exposure of such sensitive personal information carries significant risks for those affected. Individuals whose Social Security Numbers, direct deposit information, or wage data have been compromised face an elevated risk of identity theft, fraudulent tax filings, and unauthorized access to financial accounts. The breach could also lead to attempts at opening new lines of credit or other forms of financial fraud.

To mitigate potential harm, affected individuals should closely monitor their financial accounts, credit reports, and statements for any suspicious activity. Placing a fraud alert or a security freeze on credit files with the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) is a widely recommended step to prevent new credit from being opened in one's name. It is also advisable to be cautious of unsolicited communications that request personal information.

Regularly reviewing tax filings and seeking advice from a trusted financial professional regarding the protection of tax-related information can also help. Victims should report any confirmed instances of identity theft or fraud to law enforcement and relevant financial institutions.

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.
