Motility Software Solutions data breach: RV and powersport dealers' customers, ransomware in August 2025
Compiled from public records. Updated 2026-11-14. By the cisonews.net Desk.
Motility Software Solutions, which provides computer services to recreational vehicle and powersport dealers, says it detected unusual activity on its servers on or about August 19, 2025. An attacker had deployed malware that encrypted part of its systems, and may have removed files with customers' personal data before encrypting them. The Texas attorney general posted a report on October 23, 2026 counting 194,755 Texans, the 25th largest on its 2026 list. Motility offers 12 months of LifeLock identity monitoring.

Oregon's Department of Justice records 766,670 people for Motility, with a breach window from August 11 to August 19, 2025, discovery on August 19 and notice on September 29, 2025. The window shows the intruder was inside for about eight days before the encryption was found.
Why did I get a letter from Motility Software Solutions?
Motility runs computer services for RV and powersport dealers, so its files held information about those dealers' customers. The people written to are customers of RV and powersport dealers that used Motility. The letter does not name the dealers. The guide to letters from companies you never dealt with explains how a vendor's breach reaches you.
What happened at Motility?
The investigation found that an unauthorized actor deployed malware that encrypted part of Motility's systems. Motility says it investigated, added security tools, restored its systems from clean backups, set up dark web monitoring and brought in outside help.
| Date | What the letter and the regulators' records say |
|---|---|
| August 11, 2025 | Breach date on the Washington and Texas records |
| August 19, 2025 | Motility detects unusual activity |
| September 29, 2025 | Notice recorded by California |
| September 30, 2025 | Washington notice (8,369 residents) |
| October 23, 2026 | Texas posts a report counting 194,755 Texans |
The Texas report came 13 months after the first notices. The documents do not say whether it covers a later round of letters. The ransomware guide explains how companies describe encryption and data theft together.
What information was involved?
The letter says the files varied by person and may have contained full name, postal address, email address, phone number, date of birth, Social Security number and driver's license number. Washington's record adds passport numbers, and Texas adds financial information. Motility says it has no evidence of actual misuse.
How many people were affected?
| Regulator | What it counts | Number |
|---|---|---|
| Texas attorney general | Texans (October 2026 posting) | 194,755 |
| Washington attorney general | Washingtonians (September 2025 notice) | 8,369 |
| Indiana attorney general | Indiana residents (2025 report) | 8,160 |
| Indiana attorney general | People affected in total (2025 report) | 766,000 |
| Oregon Department of Justice | People affected in total | 766,670 |
Two records give a total, and they differ by 670. Indiana's 2025 report lists 766,000 people in total and 8,160 Indiana residents, with notice on September 29, 2025 and a breach date of August 11, 2025, the same dates as Oregon's 766,670. It is the seventeenth-largest total in Indiana's 2025 report, the place it holds in the largest data breaches of 2025.
What is Motility offering?
Twelve months of LifeLock identity monitoring, offered to everyone who may have been affected.
| Item | Detail from the letter |

How this disclosure's timing compares
Motility Software Solutions disclosed 41 days after the discovery date its notice gives. Across the 206 other state breach notices on cisonews.net that date discovery to the day, the median gap is 100 days.
California's breach-notice rule
California's breach law (Civil Code § 1798.82 for businesses, § 1798.29 for state agencies) requires any person or business that must notify more than 500 California residents of a single breach to submit one sample copy of that notice to the Attorney General electronically. The California Attorney General's breach list, where this notice was found, is built from those submissions. Source: California Department of Justice, Office of the Attorney General, Data Security Breach Reporting. The guide Data breach laws by state: notice deadlines and attorney general thresholds in 23 states reads the rule in full, and the glossary defines Breach notification law.
