Edfinancial, operating under Nelnet, appears to be a financial services and student loan management institution that handles sensitive consumer accounts and educational funding. In this capacity, the company typically collects and stores sensitive personal data including names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, and financial account information. This security incident was officially reported to the Hawaii Attorney General in 2022, prompting the organization to issue formal data breach notification letters to impacted consumers. If you received one of these letters, it indicates that your personal information may have been compromised during the incident. This page provides an overview of the event to help you understand what occurred and what protective steps you can take.

Why This Breach Matters
Financial institutions and insurance companies are high-value targets because the data they hold can be used to open fraudulent accounts, drain existing ones, or file fake tax returns. A breach at a financial services company may expose your account numbers, routing numbers, Social Security number, and date of birth — everything a fraudster needs.
Hawaii residents are protected by HRS § 487N-2, which gives you the right to pursue legal remedies when a company fails to adequately protect your data.
