Yellow Corporation and its affiliated debtors Data Breach Notice (Washington Attorney General)

The filing from the Washington Attorney General shows that on March 27, 2025, Yellow Corporation and its affiliated debtors experienced a data breach that was not reported until June 26, 2026 — an interval of 456 days, or about 15 months. The notice lists eight categories of information exposed: name, Social Security number, driver’s license or Washington ID card number, financial and banking information, full date of birth, passport number, health insurance policy or ID number, and medical information. The record does not state how many people were affected.

Your Social Security Number and Date of Birth Are Now in Someone Else’s Hands

If you received a notification letter from Yellow Corporation, this combination of permanent identifiers is the single most serious part of the exposure. A name paired with a Social Security number and full date of birth is the standard set of credentials used to open new credit accounts, file fraudulent tax returns, or apply for government benefits in another person’s name. These pieces of information cannot be replaced the way a credit card or password can. Once they are out, they remain valuable to identity thieves for years.

The same filing also includes your driver’s license number, passport number, and financial and banking details. Any one of those fields makes it easier for someone to impersonate you when dealing with banks, insurers, or government agencies. Medical information and health insurance policy numbers add another permanent risk: they can be used to file false claims against your insurance or to access your health records.

No Passwords Were Exposed

The notice contains no mention of passwords, login credentials, or any hashed credentials. This is genuinely good news. You do not need to change any password connected to Yellow Corporation because none was compromised in this incident. The risk here is not account takeover. It is long-term identity theft built on biographic and financial data that cannot be rotated.
