What happened
According to a notice filed with the Maine Attorney General, KerberRose S.C. determined that on April 29, 2026, an unauthorized third party accessed one employee's email account. The firm discovered the suspicious activity on May 1, 2026, and says it immediately isolated the affected environment and engaged a digital forensics firm to secure its systems and investigate. The investigation found that the compromised email account provided limited access to a back-up platform used by the firm's wealth-management division. KerberRose has stated that its accounting and tax divisions were not affected.
KerberRose reported the incident to the Maine Attorney General and began mailing notification letters to affected individuals on May 29, 2026. According to the notice, the information that may have been accessed or acquired includes names, addresses, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, financial account numbers, and bank account information. The firm has stated that it has found no evidence of fraud to date. Recipients were offered complimentary credit-monitoring and fraud-assistance services through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company. The total number of affected individuals has not been published in the regulator filing as of this writing.
As an accounting and wealth-management firm, KerberRose may hold highly sensitive financial and identifying information for its clients. When Social Security numbers and bank account details are exposed, affected individuals can face an elevated risk of identity theft and financial fraud, which is why Dapeer Law is reviewing whether the firm took reasonable steps to protect the data and whether affected individuals may have claims.
