Bayou Title Data Breach?: Lawsuit Investigation
Attorneys working with ClassAction.org are looking into whether a class action lawsuit can be filed in light of the potential Bayou Title data breach.
As part of their investigation, they need to hear from individuals who believe their information was exposed in the incident, including current and former customers of Bayou Title dating back to 2004.
Possible Bayou Title Security Incident: What Happened?
Bayou Title, a title insurance agency with 19 locations across Louisiana, is reported to have suffered a data breach. An April 29, 2026 post made on dark web scraping site Ransomware.Live suggests that threat actor Aurora has taken responsibility for exfiltrating data spanning from 2004 to 2026.
Ransomware.Live’s screenshot of Aurora’s purported description of the attack indicates that the potential Bayou Title data breach includes compromised at least 70,000 Social Security numbers, alongside names, addresses, and sale proceeds from 1099-S real estate closing worksheets spanning from tax years 2018 to 2020.
Additionally, the leak screenshot suggests that employee payroll databases containing Social Security numbers, bank account information, pay rates, tax withholding details, and direct deposit information for current and former employees have been stolen. The same screenshot suggests that the breached information also includes 103 GB of title abstracts, 44 GB of transaction packages from 2012, 2013, and 2019, sensitive documents, and attorney-client privileged documents.
Bayou Title has yet to confirm the attack, which Ransomware.Live estimates occurred on April 29, the same day Ransomware.Live discovered the incident.
What You Can Do After the Reported Bayou Title Data Breach
