What Happened?

On June 19, 2025, Hamilton discovered unauthorized access to certain systems in its network. The company immediately launched an investigation and determined that files containing sensitive information had been accessed.

By Oct. 7, 2025, a preliminary review was completed, and the company began notifying affected individuals. The breach exposed a range of personal information, which varied by individual.

  • Date of Birth
  • Address
  • Social Security or taxpayer ID number
  • Passport number
  • State-issued ID card number

In response to the cybersecurity data breach, Hamilton moved quickly to investigate and respond, assess the security of its systems, and identify potentially affected individuals. Further, Hamilton notified federal law enforcement, relevant regulatory authorities, and the three major credit reporting agencies.

On Nov. 12, 2025, Hamilton notified the Washington Attorney General's office about the breach, reporting that 610 Washington residents were affected.
