Dapeer Law, P.A. is investigating a potential class action against Fluke Corporation, an Everett, Washington-based industrial test and measurement equipment manufacturer and subsidiary of Fortive, on behalf of individuals whose Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and other personal information may have been exposed in the August to October 2025 cyber incident.
Who may qualify
You may be eligible to participate in a class action if any of the following applies:
- You received a data breach notification letter from Fluke dated May 2026.
- Your letter offered enrollment in 24 months of free Epiq identity-theft protection and credit monitoring.
- You had personal information held by Fluke Corporation, including as a current or former employee, applicant, or other individual whose Social Security number, date of birth, or self-identified disability status Fluke maintained.

What happened
According to a notice filed with the Maine Attorney General, Fluke Corporation has reported that a criminal actor gained unauthorized access to a limited segment of its network between August 10 and October 7, 2025 after exploiting a vulnerability in a third-party application. Fluke says it discovered the suspicious activity on September 29, 2025, ejected the intruder on October 7, 2025, and patched the third-party vulnerability once a fix became available.
Fluke states that its forensic data analysis concluded on May 8, 2026, and that it began notifying affected individuals on May 14, 2026, more than seven months after the intrusion was discovered. According to the notice, the information involved may include Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and an indicator of self-identified disability status, with exposure varying by individual. Fluke is offering 24 months of identity-theft protection and credit monitoring through Epiq at no cost to those receiving letters. The total number of affected individuals has not been publicly disclosed.
Because Social Security numbers and self-identified disability information are typically collected by employers for human-resources, payroll, or equal-employment reporting purposes, the data set involved suggests current or former employees and job applicants may be among those affected. Whether Fluke and its third-party vendor exercised reasonable care in safeguarding this information, and whether the lengthy notification window complied with applicable state breach-notice statutes, are among the issues being evaluated.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your letter contains the enrollment code for Epiq credit monitoring and is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit.
Enroll in the free 24-month Epiq credit monitoring
Enroll in the Epiq identity-theft protection and credit monitoring offered in your letter before the stated deadline. Accepting this benefit does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
Place a fraud alert or credit freeze
Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a fraud alert or freeze on your file. Request a free weekly credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, and use the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov recovery guide. Because Social Security numbers and dates of birth were involved, consider placing a free fraud alert or a credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus in addition to enrolling in monitoring.
