Bridgeway Benefit Technologies LLC Data Breach Notice (Washington Attorney General)

The March 05, 2026 breach at Bridgeway Benefit Technologies LLC has left 640 Washington residents with their Social Security numbers and full dates of birth in unknown hands. Because those two pieces of information together can be used to open accounts, file taxes, or claim benefits in your name, the exposure carries consequences that last for years rather than days.

Bridgeway filed the notice with the Washington Attorney General on July 24, 2026—141 days after the incident date listed in the record. The filing states that the compromised information included names, Social Security numbers, full dates of birth, an unspecified “Other” category, and Protected Health Information owned or licensed by a HIPAA covered entity.

Your Social Security Number Cannot Be Replaced

Once a Social Security number leaves an organization’s control it remains usable for the rest of your life. Credit issuers, government agencies, and many employers still treat it as a primary identifier. The presence of your full date of birth alongside it gives a fraudster the exact pair needed to impersonate you when opening new credit, applying for unemployment benefits, or filing a fraudulent tax return.

The record does not disclose whether the data was merely viewed or actually copied and removed. In either case, the filing treats the information as exposed. No passwords or login credentials appear in the listed categories, so this incident does not require you to change any Bridgeway password.
