Step By Step Faces Investigation Over Potential Data Breach Allegations
ClassAction.org reported on October 5, 2026 that attorneys are investigating whether Step By Step, an agency providing vocational, housing and clinical support to individuals with disabilities, suffered a data breach.
The investigation follows an October 3, 2026 post on the dark web monitoring site Ransomware.live claiming that hacker group Storm was behind a suspected attack on the agency.
The alleged breach is estimated to have occurred on October 2, 2026, the day prior to the dark web post.
Step By Step provides services across Pennsylvania to individuals with disabilities and mental health conditions.
Attorneys from Bryson Harris Suciu & DeMay PLLC are conducting the investigation and seeking input from anyone who believes their information may have been exposed.
The matter has garnered attention from multiple media outlets including Forbes, Billboard, Fox News, Huffington Post and Yahoo News.
