The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago Data Breach Notice (Oregon Attorney General)

The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago has notified 155,226 people that their personal information was exposed in an incident that occurred on June 12, 2026. The organisation filed the notice with the Oregon Department of Justice on July 31, 2026 — 49 days later.

What this exposure actually means for you

If you received a letter from the Moody Bible Institute, your personal information was among the records involved in this breach. The filing lists personal information as the category exposed. No passwords, no financial account numbers, and no government identifiers such as Social Security numbers appear in the disclosed categories.

That absence is important. Because no passwords were exposed, there is no need to change any login credentials for Moody Bible Institute accounts as a result of this incident. The risk centers on the personal information that was taken and what someone could do with it in the future.

The permanent nature of personal information

Personal information, once exposed, cannot be recalled or reissued. Unlike a credit card that can be cancelled and replaced, details such as your full name combined with date of birth, address history, or other biographical data stay with you for life. Criminals can use these details to attempt identity theft, file fraudulent tax returns, open accounts in your name, or impersonate you in correspondence.
