The Heart of Texas Workforce Development Board, Inc., a crucial entity for employment programs and job training in the region, confirmed a data security incident in June 2026. This breach, reported to the Texas Attorney General, involved unauthorized access to the Board's systems, compromising personal data.
The compromised information includes a broad range of sensitive details. Exposed categories include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Home Address, Driver's License Number, Employment History, Wage and Compensation Information, Phone Number and Email Address.

Under Texas state law, organizations entrusted with personal information, like the Heart of Texas Workforce Development Board, Inc., have a clear legal obligation to protect that data with robust security measures.
