What happened
Locus Technologies, a Mountain View, California provider of cloud-based environmental software, disclosed a cybersecurity incident that compromised sensitive personal information. The company reported the incident to the Massachusetts Attorney General on July 13, 2026 and began mailing notification letters to affected individuals around the same date. The incident and discovery dates were not stated in the public filing.
According to the consumer notice, the information involved included Social Security numbers. Locus Technologies is offering 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity-restoration services through TransUnion. The Massachusetts filing indicates that 2 Massachusetts residents were notified; the total number of individuals affected nationwide has not been publicly disclosed.
Because Social Security numbers are among the most sensitive data elements, their exposure can carry a heightened risk of identity theft and financial fraud. Whether the company's pre-breach security practices met legal standards, and whether affected individuals face ongoing risk, are among the issues being evaluated.

Common questions
I received a data breach letter from Locus Technologies. What should I do? +
Keep the letter, enroll in the free 24-month TransUnion credit monitoring within the 120-day window stated in your notice, request your free annual credit reports, and consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze with the credit bureaus. Because Social Security numbers were involved, a security freeze is worth strong consideration. You can also contact a data breach attorney for a free consultation. Accepting credit monitoring does not waive your right to sue.
