Ewald Consulting, LLC, headquartered in St. Louis Park, Minnesota, reported a data security incident to the Texas Attorney General’s Office affecting approximately 383 individuals. According to the filing, affected individuals were notified by U.S. Mail. The Texas AG filing lists the exposed information as names of individuals and dates of birth.
Association and consulting management firms like Ewald Consulting often maintain membership and client databases containing personal identifiers on behalf of the organizations they serve. While names and dates of birth alone are less immediately damaging than financial account numbers, this combination can still be leveraged by bad actors for identity verification fraud, phishing attempts, or as building blocks in more elaborate identity theft schemes when combined with other publicly available information.
The public Texas AG filing does not disclose the underlying cause of the breach (for example, whether it involved a compromised employee account, a vendor-side incident, or unauthorized network access), nor does it specify the exact date the breach was discovered or occurred. Affected individuals with questions about the specific circumstances are encouraged to review any direct notice letter received from Ewald Consulting.
The exact date the breach occurred or was detected has not been publicly disclosed. The incident was published to the Texas Attorney General’s data security breach report list on August 19, 2025, which reflects when the report became public, not necessarily when the breach itself took place.
According to the Texas AG filing, the compromised information included the names of individuals and their dates of birth. No financial account numbers, Social Security numbers, or medical information were listed as affected in the public report.
If you received a notice from Ewald Consulting, LLC, remain alert for phishing emails, calls, or texts that reference your name and date of birth in an attempt to appear legitimate.
