What Happened?
According to Farrell Fritz’s published notice, the firm became aware of a network disruption on July 18, 2025 and engaged cybersecurity specialists to investigate. The notice states that the investigation found an unauthorized actor acquired certain information from the firm’s environment. After third-party specialists reviewed the impacted data set, the firm reported on March 18, 2026 that certain personal information was contained within that data and that it then worked to identify and notify impacted individuals.
The public materials reviewed do not state how many people were affected. They also indicate that the same information was not necessarily involved for every person.
What Information Was Exposed?
The notice says the potentially affected information may have included a person’s name in combination with sensitive identifiers or account data. Depending on the individual, that may have included Social Security numbers or individual taxpayer identification numbers, driver’s license or state identification numbers, passport numbers, U.S. Alien Registration Numbers, employer identification numbers, financial account information, payment card information, digital signatures, dates of birth, student identification numbers, birth certificates, mother’s maiden names, unique government-issued identification numbers, medical information, and health insurance information.
The notice also says not all data elements were affected for all individuals. If you received a letter, review it carefully because your personal exposure may be narrower than the full list disclosed publicly.
What Should You Do Next?
- Keep the notice and confirm what it says. Save any letter or email you received and note the date it arrived. If the notice identifies specific data types, keep that information for your records.
- Monitor your financial and other sensitive accounts. Review bank accounts, payment cards, and any insurance or medical statements for activity you do not recognize. Report suspicious transactions right away.
- Check your credit reports. You can request free reports from the nationwide credit bureaus through AnnualCreditReport.com. If highly sensitive identifiers may have been involved, consider whether a fraud alert or security freeze makes sense for you.
- Watch for identity theft warning signs. Unexpected bills, denied credit, unfamiliar accounts, tax issues, or collection notices can all be signs that your information is being misused. The FTC provides identity theft recovery guidance.
- Ask questions and explore your legal options. If you have questions about the company’s notice, you can contact the call center listed above. If you want to understand whether you may have a claim, fill out the form on this page to contact Strauss Borrelli PLLC.
Your Legal Rights
If your sensitive information was involved in a reported data incident, you may have legal rights depending on the facts and the laws that apply. In some situations, affected individuals may seek relief related to inadequate data security, the cost and time of dealing with the incident, or identity theft risks tied to exposed personal information.
Whether a viable claim exists will depend on facts that may not yet be public for every individual, including what information was involved and whether misuse occurred. Speaking with an attorney can help you understand what records to keep and whether an individual claim or class action investigation may be appropriate, but this page does not provide individualized legal advice.
