What Is This About?

If you recently received correspondence from Palacios Marine & Industrial Coatings Inc. (“PMI”) indicating that your sensitive personal or protected health information may have been involved in a data breach, we would like to speak with you about your rights and potential legal remedies. We are interested in speaking with affected individuals about potential claims and available remedies. PMI has publicly acknowledged a cybersecurity incident that resulted in the exposure of certain individuals’ sensitive personal and protected health information.

What Happened?

PMI identified unusual activity within its computer network on September 30, 2025, prompting immediate action to secure its systems and investigate the incident. The company determined that an unauthorized individual gained access to certain internal systems on that same date and may have viewed or obtained files stored within those systems.

Following this discovery, PMI undertook a comprehensive review of the affected data to determine the scope of the breach and identify impacted individuals. This process took several months to complete.

Subsequently, on March 30, 2026, PMI notified regulatory authorities, including the Maine Attorney General and the Texas Attorney General, and began sending notification letters to affected individuals. The company also issued a public notice outlining the incident and providing guidance on steps individuals can take to protect their information.

What Information Was Impacted?

Based on current information, the following categories of sensitive personal and protected health information may have been compromised:
      • Names;
      • Social Security numbers;
      • Driver’s license or state-issued identification numbers;
      • Government-issued identification numbers (such as passport numbers);
      • Financial account and payment card information; and
