Cardinal Services, Inc. Reports Data Breach to Texas Authorities

Cardinal Services, Inc., Cardinal Employer Organization, and Preferred Employer Solutions (collectively "Cardinal") have officially reported a data breach to the Texas Attorney General. This report, filed on May 22, 2026, confirms a cybersecurity incident that occurred on or around June 25, 2025.

The incident involved unauthorized access to Cardinal's systems, potentially compromising personal information maintained by the companies. As an employer and service provider, Cardinal holds data for the individuals and workers they serve. The exact nature of the breach and the specific categories of information involved were not detailed in the public filing.

When personal information is exposed in a data breach, individuals may face an increased risk of identity theft, fraud, or targeted phishing attempts. Those who received direct notification from Cardinal should carefully review the information provided by the company regarding the incident.

It is generally recommended that individuals remain vigilant after any data exposure. Consider placing a fraud alert or freezing your credit with the major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). Regularly review your account statements and credit reports for any suspicious activity.

Additionally, be cautious of unsolicited communications, especially those asking for personal details. Update passwords for online accounts, particularly for any that might reuse credentials. These steps can help mitigate potential risks associated with the breach.
