Engineers and Surveyors Board Reports Texas Data Breach

The North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors, a state regulatory agency responsible for licensing professionals, officially reported a data breach to the Texas Attorney General. This disclosure indicates that unauthorized access to their systems may have compromised personal information maintained by the Board.

While the precise nature of the compromised data was not detailed in the public filing, individuals who received a notification letter should understand that their personal information was likely stored in the affected systems. The Board is responsible for sensitive records typically required for credentialing engineers and surveyors.

The public filing indicates that the data event occurred on or about November 12, 2025. The North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors subsequently reported this incident to the Texas Attorney General's office on May 19, 2026, as required for notification purposes.

For those who have received a direct notification, it is crucial to remain vigilant. General protective measures include closely monitoring all financial accounts and credit reports for any suspicious transactions or inquiries. Immediately report any unauthorized activity to the relevant institution or credit bureau.

Because the specific categories of data involved were not specified in the public record, broad preventative actions are recommended. Consider enabling multi-factor authentication on online accounts where available and be cautious of unsolicited communications that request personal details. This vigilance helps safeguard your data against potential misuse.
