Income Property Management Co. Data Breach Notice (Oregon Attorney General)

The filing from Income Property Management Co. means that as of December 22, 2024, personal information belonging to one Oregon resident was exposed. The company did not report the incident to the Oregon Department of Justice until April 15, 2026 — an interval of 479 days, or roughly 15.7 months.

One Person, 479 Days Later

This is an unusually small breach notice: exactly one individual. That single record sat between the incident date and the filing date for more than fifteen months. The long gap is the most concrete fact the record provides. While notification deadlines vary by the progress of an investigation, the elapsed time is what stands out.

What “Personal Information” Actually Included

The filing lists only the broad category of personal information. It does not name Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, financial account details, addresses, dates of birth, or any other specific field. No passwords, no credentials, and no permanent government identifiers such as a Social Security number are confirmed exposed. Because the record is silent on the exact fields, the only authoritative source for what was taken from your record is the letter the company was required to send you directly.

If you received that letter, it will list the precise data elements that applied to you. If you have not received a letter, it is likely you were not part of the affected group. Anyone who has moved since December 22, 2024 should contact Income Property Management Co. directly to confirm whether their records were included.

Why the Exact Contents Matter More Than Usual

With only one person named in the filing, the exposure is narrow but potentially deep for that individual. The absence of any mention of passwords or login credentials is genuine good news: this incident does not put any online account at direct risk of takeover. The risk that remains is identity-related fraud built on whatever personal details were actually taken.

Because the company has not disclosed the precise data fields, you cannot assume the worst or dismiss the notice. The letter is the only document that can settle the question. Until you see it, treat the possibility that sensitive personal details are now outside the company’s control as real.

The Long Delay Changes the Practical Picture

A 479-day gap between the December 22, 2024 incident and the April 15, 2026 filing means any stolen information has had more than a year to circulate. Data that can fuel identity theft or fraudulent loan applications does not expire on a calendar. The passage of time does not reduce its value; in many cases it increases the chance the information has reached parties who intend to use it.

This is why the standard advice to monitor credit reports and bank accounts remains relevant even when the exact contents are unknown. The delay itself is not characterised here as negligence — state rules and investigation timelines differ — but it does compress the window in which you can act before potential misuse appears on your records.

What You Can Still Control

Even without knowing the exact fields, several practical steps remain available. The first is verification. Reach out to Income Property Management Co. and ask for a copy of the notification letter if you believe you should have received one. Second, place a fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus; this is effective whether or not a Social Security number was exposed, because it forces lenders to verify identity before opening new accounts.

Third, review every explanation of benefits, tax transcript, and financial statement that arrives in the coming months for unfamiliar activity. Fourth, consider identity theft protection services that include dark-web monitoring and insurance reimbursement; while not a guarantee, they provide an early-warning layer the company itself cannot supply after the fact.

Finally, keep records. Save the letter, note every call to the company, and document any follow-up with credit agencies. Should fraudulent activity appear later, this paper trail speeds up disputes and recovery.

The record is limited by design. It tells us who filed, when they filed, how many Oregon residents were named, and that personal information was involved. Everything else — the method of compromise, the precise data fields, and whether a vendor was at fault — remains undisclosed. For the single person affected, that uncertainty is best resolved by the letter that was supposed to arrive and by proactive monitoring that does not depend on the company’s incomplete disclosure.
