Dapeer Law, P.A. is investigating a potential class action against Delaware North Companies, Inc., a global hospitality and entertainment company, on behalf of individuals whose personal information may have been exposed in the January 2026 cyber incident that Delaware North began disclosing in June 2026.
Who may qualify
You may be eligible to participate in a class action if any of the following applies:

What happened
On January 28, 2026, Delaware North detected unusual activity in an employee's Microsoft 365 email account. The company secured the account and began an investigation with outside cybersecurity professionals. That forensic review concluded that an unauthorized party had copied certain files on January 27, 2026, at least one of which contained customer personal information.
According to the company's regulatory filings, the affected files included names together with driver's-license or other state-issued identification numbers, and, for some Texas residents, Social Security numbers. Delaware North began mailing notification letters on June 5, 2026, roughly four months after it discovered the activity, and is offering complimentary credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity-theft restoration through Kroll. State filings indicate that 10,682 people were affected, including 9,706 in South Carolina and 976 in Texas.
Driver's-license and Social Security numbers are persistent identifiers that cannot be changed as easily as a password, and they can be misused for identity theft, synthetic-identity fraud, and fraudulent accounts long after a breach occurs. Dapeer Law is evaluating whether Delaware North's data-security practices and the timing of its notifications give rise to claims under state breach-notification and consumer-protection laws.

Common questions
I received a data breach letter from Delaware North. What should I do? +
Keep your June 5, 2026 letter, since it contains your Kroll enrollment code and serves as evidence. Enroll in the free Kroll credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity-theft restoration, review your bank, credit-card, and driver-license records for unfamiliar activity, and consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. Because driver's-license and Social Security numbers were involved, watch for fraudulent accounts and government-ID misuse.
Am I eligible to join a class action against Delaware North? +
