Roebbelen Contracting, a California-based construction firm specializing in commercial, institutional, and public sector projects, suffered a data breach discovered on August 22, 2025. Unusual network activity led to the identification of a security incident where files containing sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) including Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, medical information, and health insurance details were compromised. The breach was contained shortly after detection but was only disclosed to authorities on November 12, 2025. Affected individuals, notified via mail, face risks of identity theft, financial fraud, and unauthorized use of exposed data. The company offered free Experian IdentityWorks protection services, but the exposure of such critical data raises concerns over long-term privacy and security risks for victims. Legal firms are investigating potential compensation claims for impacted parties, citing harm from the unauthorized access to highly sensitive records.
