The Florida Aquarium disclosed a data security incident that occurred on May 13, 2026, according to public filings. The organization formally reported the breach to the Indiana Attorney General on August 24, 2026, and the matter is currently under monitoring.

Investigations into the incident indicate that unauthorized access may have resulted in the exposure of various categories of personal information. The compromised data includes individuals' Full Name, Date of Birth, Mailing Address, Email Address, Payment Card Information, Financial Account Number, Social Security Number, and Employee Identification Number.

The exposure of such foundational personal and financial data creates a heightened risk for affected individuals. Potentially compromised information can be used for financial fraud, account takeovers, targeted phishing attempts, and unauthorized access to other personal services. The incident suggests that security measures intended to protect sensitive data were circumvented.

Individuals who have received a notification regarding this breach should remain vigilant. It is generally recommended to review financial statements and credit reports regularly for any unusual activity. Consider placing a fraud alert or security freeze on your credit files with the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) to help prevent unauthorized account openings.

Additionally, be cautious of unsolicited communications, especially those requesting personal information. Implement strong, unique passwords for all online accounts and enable multi-factor authentication whenever possible. Staying informed and proactive with identity protection measures is crucial following an event of this nature.

What to do if you were affected

Based on the categories of information reported in this filing, these steps can help limit the risk of identity theft and fraud.

  • Freeze your credit

    Place a free credit freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name and can be lifted anytime.

  • Watch your financial accounts

    Review bank and card statements for unfamiliar activity and turn on transaction alerts. Report anything you don't recognize to your bank right away.

  • Secure your online accounts

    Change the password on any account that reused an exposed password and turn on two-factor authentication wherever it's offered.

  • Stay alert to targeted scams

    Be cautious of calls, texts, or emails that reference this breach. Legitimate organizations won't ask you to confirm sensitive details through an unsolicited message.

  • Keep your notification letter

    Save the notice you received. It documents that your information was involved and is often needed to enroll in any credit monitoring offered or to join a related legal claim.
