Detailed summary

Pritchard Brown LLC, a legal services firm, reported a data incident that may have involved sensitive personal information. The breach occurred between September 16, 2025, and October 15, 2025, and was detected on October 14, 2025. Forensic confirmation was obtained on March 17, 2026.

A Massachusetts Attorney General filing indicates Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, and other government-issued identification numbers may have been affected. The specific number of individuals impacted has not been publicly disclosed. It is unclear if financial account numbers or medical record numbers were involved, as the publicly available breach notification letter from Massachusetts only confirms full name, Social Security Number, and other personal information such as copies of government-issued identification.

Details about the incident can emerge later. Breach notices may be delayed.
