- Texas AG Ken Paxton has announced an investigation into Carnival Corporation following an April 2026 data breach that allegedly compromised 6 million people’s personal information, including over 800,000 Texans.
- On April 14, 2026, Carnival’s information technology security team identified unauthorized activity involving an employee account and determined that techniques were used to deceive an employee and gain access to the company’s systems. This allowed the unauthorized actor to obtain access to Carnival consumers’ sensitive and confidential information.
- Previously, AG Paxton had issued a Civil Investigative Demand (CID) to Carnival to determine whether the company adequately safeguarded the personal information of Texas consumers required by Texas law.
