NPK International Data Breach Lawsuit Investigation

Was your personal or medical information compromised by NPK International’s recent cyber-attack? More than 5,100 people may now face heightened risks of identity theft and fraud. Read on to see what was stolen and find out if you can file a claim today.

What Happened?

On September 4, 2025, NPK International, Inc. (“NPK”) submitted a breach notification to the Texas Attorney General. According to that filing, an unauthorized third party infiltrated NPK’s systems and may have accessed sensitive personal identifiable information (PII) and protected health information (PHI). As of the filing date, NPK had not yet issued direct notices to affected individuals or disclosed details about how the attack occurred.

Data Potentially Exposed

The types of data believed to be at risk vary by person but may include:

• Full name
• Social Security number
• Driver’s license or other government-issued ID number
• Financial account information
• Medical and health-related details

Why It Matters

When cyber-criminals obtain both PII and PHI, victims can face:

• New credit lines or loans fraudulently opened in their names
• Tax return or benefit fraud
• Unauthorized medical claims filed using their health coverage
• Long-term damage to credit scores and financial stability

Your Legal Options

Data breach laws allow victims to pursue compensation for out-of-pocket expenses, time spent monitoring accounts, credit damage, and emotional distress. JoinTheCase is gathering information to determine whether NPK International failed to implement reasonable cybersecurity safeguards. If negligence is proven, you could be eligible to join a class action or individual lawsuit seeking monetary relief.

Next Steps to Protect Yourself

1. Monitor your credit reports and bank statements for unfamiliar activity.
2. Place a free fraud alert or security freeze with the major credit bureaus.
3. Enroll in identity-theft protection or credit monitoring (keep receipts for possible reimbursement).
4. Watch for suspicious medical bills or insurance statements you don’t recognize.
5. Report any fraudulent activity to the appropriate institutions immediately.
