Have you been affected by Olinsky Law Group's data breach?

Olinsky & Associates, PLLC, a national disability law firm also known as Olinsky Law Group, has reported a data security breach involving unauthorized access to some of its electronic systems. The cyberattack, which occurred on December 17, 2024, was discovered on January 28, 2025. Those affected are encouraged to remain vigilant by monitoring their financial accounts and credit reports for any unauthorized activity.

Olinsky Law Group Data Breach Details

The breach began when unauthorized criminal actors gained access to Olinsky’s electronic systems. Upon discovering the attack, Olinsky immediately took steps to secure its systems and engaged a forensic firm to assist with the investigation. The investigation revealed that the threat actors had used trusted systems to gain access through phishing, which allowed them to compromise files on a shared drive. However, most of the firm’s network was not breached, and no ransom was paid to the attackers.

Olinsky completed its investigation in early February 2025 and determined that a limited amount of personal information had been compromised. The firm promptly reported the breach to local law enforcement and the FBI, and the authorities are currently investigating the incident. Olinsky is working closely with law enforcement to resolve the matter and mitigate the impact of the breach.

Olinsky is offering Identity Restoration services for 12 months to affected individuals. Affected individuals are encouraged to carefully review the notification and take any recommended actions to protect their personal information.

What Information Was Compromised?

The compromised data may include:

  • Full Name
  • Social Security Number
  • Financial Information
  • Email address
  • ID numbers

How to Know if You Were Affected

If you received a data breach notification from Olinsky Law Group, your personal information may have been compromised. While most victims are officially notified through a “Notice of Data Breach” in the mail, the consequences—such as fraudulent transactions and identity theft—can begin long before the notice arrives.

Steps to Take if You Were Affected by the Olinsky Law Group Data Breach

Stay Alert for Phishing Scams
Scammers may exploit the data breach by posing as Olinsky Law Group. Be cautious of unexpected emails, texts, or calls requesting personal information. When in doubt, verify communications directly with the company through official channels.

Monitor Your Credit and Financial Accounts
Regularly check your bank statements, credit card activity, and credit reports for unauthorized transactions. Set up account alerts to detect suspicious activity early. Take advantage of free credit reports and review them carefully for unfamiliar accounts or discrepancies.

Consider Freezing Your Credit
For added security, request a credit freeze from all three major credit bureaus. This prevents new accounts from being opened in your name while still allowing you to use existing credit. You can temporarily lift the freeze when necessary if applying for credit.
