Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, Inc. Data Breach Notice (Oregon Attorney General)

The December 12, 2024 breach at Kelly & Associates Insurance Group, Inc. means that personal information belonging to 263,893 people is now outside the company’s control. The filing reached the Oregon Department of Justice on April 21, 2025 — 130 days later. That four-and-a-half-month gap is the single most striking fact in the public record.

Personal information cannot be taken back

The exposed data consists of the category the state filing calls “personal information.” Once it leaves an insurer’s systems it stays valuable to identity thieves for years. Names paired with addresses, dates of birth, or government identifiers let someone open accounts, file fraudulent tax returns, or apply for benefits in your name. These records do not expire the way a stolen credit card does.

No passwords were exposed. That is genuine good news. You do not need to change any password tied to Kelly & Associates because none reached the attackers. The risk sits entirely in the non-credential personal details that cannot be reissued.

What the 130-day interval actually tells you

State law gives companies time to investigate and prepare notifications. The record supplies only the incident date of December 12, 2024 and the filing date of April 21, 2025. It is silent on when the breach was discovered. The elapsed time is therefore simply a fact: more than four months passed between the incident and the formal notice to Oregon. Readers can weigh that interval themselves.

How to know whether this filing includes you

Kelly & Associates Insurance Group is required to notify affected individuals directly, usually by mail. If you have not received a letter, your information was most likely not part of the 263,893 records included in this incident. Anyone who has moved since December 12, 2024 should contact the company directly to confirm their status, because letters go to the last known address on file.

The lifelong nature of the exposed data

Unlike a credit card number that can be canceled in minutes, the personal information listed in this filing cannot be replaced. A Social Security number, once compromised, remains a permanent key to your financial and government records. The same is true for any medical or policy details that may have been swept up under the broad “personal information” category. What changes is not the data itself but how carefully you monitor the accounts and benefits tied to it.

Because this is an insurance-related breach, the records almost certainly include details that tie directly to health policies or claims. That combination of identity data and health information increases the potential for both financial fraud and medical identity theft, such as someone using your coverage to obtain treatment that later appears on your explanation of benefits.

What you still control

You cannot unscramble the past, but you can limit what an attacker can do with the information now in circulation. The most effective steps focus on early detection and friction for anyone trying to use your details.

• Place a fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major bureaus. A freeze stops new accounts from being opened in your name; a fraud alert forces lenders to verify your identity before issuing credit. This single action addresses the core risk created by exposed personal information.
• Review every Explanation of Benefits statement from your health insurer. Look for claims you did not make. Medical identity theft often surfaces first as services billed to your policy that you never received.
• Monitor your tax account with the IRS and your state revenue department. Identity thieves file fraudulent returns early in the season. Setting up an IRS online account lets you see filings in your name before any surprise notice arrives.
• Treat every unsolicited call, email, or letter claiming to be from an insurer, bank, or government agency as suspect. Verify the request independently before providing any further information. The exposed personal details give scammers credibility they would otherwise lack.

The filing itself contains no information about how the breach occurred, whether the data was copied or simply viewed, or what specific fields beyond the generic “personal information” category were taken. Those details remain unknown to the public. What is known is the scale — 263,893 Oregon residents — and the calendar: incident on December 12, 2024, notification filed 130 days later.

That combination of permanent personal data and delayed public notice is what matters most to the people whose records were included. The letter in your mailbox remains the clearest signal of whether you are one of them. If it never arrives, the record suggests you were not affected. If you have moved since last December, reach out to Kelly & Associates Insurance Group to be certain.
