Locus Technologies Discloses Data Breach Impacting Social Security Numbers
Locus Technologies, a Silicon Valley-based environmental and sustainability software provider, recently reported a data breach that exposed Social Security numbers of an undisclosed number of individuals nationwide. The incident was formally disclosed to the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation on July 15, 2026, with notification letters sent to affected parties on July 13, 2026.
Details about the breach’s origin, timing, and attack vector remain unclear, as the company’s notice prioritized remediation steps over incident specifics. No other categories of personal data were confirmed as compromised in the available disclosures.

Affected individuals must enroll within 120 days of receiving their notification letter using a unique code provided.
