Turner Construction confirmed a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to its systems between July 2 and July 15, 2026. The company caught the activity, locked things down, and brought in outside cybersecurity experts to dig through what got touched.
On July 27, Turner confirmed the intruders had actually grabbed files with personal information in them, according to the notice filed with the California Attorney General's office.
What was in those files:
Names
Social Security numbers (and Social Insurance Numbers for Canadian employees)
Dates of birth
Salary info
Bank account details used for direct deposit
Home addresses
Passport numbers, for a limited group
Payroll Files, Meet the Internet
Turner notified roughly 6,098 California residents as of August 18, using a letter template built to satisfy multiple states' notification laws. The company also looped in federal law enforcement and says it's tightening up its systems and retraining staff.
Affected folks get five years of free credit monitoring through IDX and IDShield, plus the usual fraud-alert and credit-freeze playbook.
Nobody's saying who got in or how yet. But if you've ever handed Turner your info, this is your sign to go check your bank statements before your evening beer.
