LiUNA Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Laborers’ International Union of North America Local 1184 (“LiUNA”) data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at LiUNA (Laborers' International Union of North America Local 1184), potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information of union members, representatives, and employees.

What Happened?

A recent report from the California Attorney General's office states that the LiUNA data breach occurred due to a ransomware attack on their network systems. According to the official filing, unauthorized actors infiltrated LiUNA's IT infrastructure on November 17, 2024, deploying ransomware across their computer systems.

Though the organization successfully regained control of their network by November 18, 2024, the brief window provided sufficient time for attackers to access sensitive data stored within LiUNA's systems. The breach compromised various categories of personal information, including:

• Full names
• Social Security numbers
• Union membership numbers
• Telephone numbers
• Home addresses
• Email addresses
• Work dispatch records

Data breach letters were sent out by Laborers’ International Union of North America Local 1184 on March 31, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and the specific types of personal information that may have been exposed during the security breach.

Steps To Take If You Were Affected By A Data Breach

1. Monitor all accounts and credit reports closely
   1. Set up alerts for suspicious activity
   2. Review all financial statements thoroughly
   3. Request free credit reports and examine them for unauthorized entries
      
      
2. Consider freezing your credit
   1. Contact all three major credit bureaus to place a freeze
   2. Understand this prevents new accounts from being opened in your name
   3. Remember to temporarily lift the freeze when applying for legitimate credit
      
      
3. Look out for phishing attempts using information from the LiUNA data breach
   1. Be wary of unexpected emails or messages claiming to be from LiUNA
   2. Don't click on suspicious links or download unexpected attachments
   3. Verify all communications through official channels
      
      
4. Change passwords for affected accounts
   1. Create strong, unique passwords for each account
   2. Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters
   3. Consider using a password manager for better security
      
      
5. Enable two-factor authentication where possible
   1. Add this extra layer of security to all important accounts
   2. Use authenticator apps rather than SMS when available
   3. Keep backup codes in a secure location
