WHAT HAPPENED?
Recently, Velocity Risk reported to the Attorney General of New Hampshire that it had experienced a data breach in which sensitive personal identifiable information in its systems may have been compromised. According to the breach notice, on April 28, 2025, Velocity Risk received notice from its prior third-party vendor, WaterStreet Company (“WaterStreet”), which previously hosted certain of its data, that WaterStreet had discovered suspicious activity related to its environment on March 17, 2025, and Velocity information held by Waterstreet may have been impacted.1 As a result, WaterStreet launched an investigation to determine the nature of the incident.
Through its investigation, on June 26, 2025, WaterStreet provided data files to Velocity Risk, which identified the business clients and individuals associated with Velocity Risk that were impacted by this incident and the types of information that may have been compromised. 1 As a result, Velocity Risk began a review of the data to determine what information had been impacted as well as identify the specific individuals affected. While the information impacted varies depending on the individual, the type of information potentially exposed includes:
- Name
- Social Security number
- Financial account information
Soon, Velocity Risk will begin mailing data breach notification letters to impacted individuals. Based on the breach notice sent to New Hampshire residents, Velocity Risk is providing affected individuals with a list of the specific types of sensitive information impacted and complimentary credit monitoring services.
