About IMA Diligence Services, LLC
IMA Diligence Services, LLC — formerly known as RedRidge Diligence Services — is the due diligence and transaction advisory division of IMA Financial Group, based in Wichita, Kansas. The company provides financial due diligence and lender-transaction support services to private equity firms, lenders, corporations, and investors involved in mergers, acquisitions, and lending transactions. Because the filing does not specify what data types were compromised in this incident, the nature of the information at risk has not been publicly disclosed.
What Happened?
IMA Diligence Services, LLC was listed in a Maine Attorney General breach filing submitted on May 29, 2026. The incident is described as an external system breach caused by hacking. The total number of persons affected was not disclosed in the filing. Consumer notification was sent by written notice on May 29, 2026, and the company offered 12 months of credit monitoring and identity restoration services through TransUnion.
According to supplemental reporting, the Genesis ransomware group publicly claimed responsibility for the attack on January 27, 2026, with an alleged data leak of approximately 700GB. That public claim came more than three months before the company’s reported discovery date of May 4, 2026 — itself nearly five months after the breach date of December 8, 2025. The specific data types involved were not identified in the Maine filing, and the consumer notice PDF could not be extracted. A federal class action lawsuit — Roberts v. Redridge Diligence Services LLC d/b/a IMA Diligence Services et al, Case No. 1:26-cv-02192 — has been filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois before Judge Thomas M. Durkin. Separately, the parent company, IMA Financial Group, experienced a prior breach in October 2022 that affected 941 individuals; that earlier incident involved a different event and should not be conflated with this one.
