The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago, an educational and religious training institution, officially reported a data security incident to Indiana authorities on July 31, 2026. This disclosure indicates that a data breach occurred on or around June 12, 2026, and the situation is currently under investigation and monitoring, according to public filings.

The breach exposed multiple categories of personal information. The data types confirmed as compromised include individuals' Full Name, Date of Birth, Social Security Number, Student ID Number, Financial Aid Records, Transcript and Academic Records, Wage and Compensation Information, and Mailing Address.

The exposure of these specific data elements can create various risks for affected individuals. The compromise of a Full Name combined with other identifiers like Social Security Number and Date of Birth could be used in attempts at identity theft. Additionally, the exposure of Student ID Number, Financial Aid Records, Transcript and Academic Records, and Wage and Compensation Information might lead to unauthorized access to personal educational or financial details.

Individuals who receive a notification regarding this incident are advised to take proactive steps to safeguard their information. It is recommended to regularly review financial statements and credit reports for any unfamiliar activity. Placing a fraud alert or security freeze on credit files are common precautions that can help prevent new accounts from being opened fraudulently.

Keeping contact information updated with all relevant institutions is also important, should further notifications or details become available. Monitoring online accounts for any unusual login attempts or changes can add another layer of protection. These general measures are widely recommended after any data security incident.

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.
