What happened in the Lexitas data breach
According to its notice letter, Lexitas provides litigation support services, including court reporting and deposition transcript services. On May 29, 2026, Lexitas learned from a customer that a web server configuration error had caused certain files in its OnDemand (DepositionNet) application to become accessible over the internet without authentication. Its investigation determined that this configuration error occurred in or around September 2019 and was not detected at the time.
Lexitas says it restricted access to the affected server within hours and began an investigation. The affected files consisted primarily of deposition transcripts, exhibits, and other legal documents. The letter states that some of the data stored on the affected server may have contained a person's name combined with a Social Security number, driver's license number, financial account information, date of birth, medical information, or health insurance information. Because the available server logs were limited, Lexitas could not determine whether any individual's specific information was viewed, copied, or downloaded.
The notice letter is dated October 14, 2026, more than four months after Lexitas learned of the issue; the letter says identifying affected individuals required extensive manual review, which took several months. The letter states that approximately 14,361 individuals nationwide were affected, and the Vermont Attorney General lists 5 Vermonters affected. The Vermont Attorney General's breach table lists Social Security numbers, government ID numbers, financial account codes, credit and debit account info, biometric information, genetic information, health records, and login credentials. Lexitas is offering single-bureau credit monitoring through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company. Whether Lexitas's security practices met legal standards, given that the error went undetected for years, is among the issues being evaluated.
Why Lexitas had your information
Lexitas provides litigation support services, including court reporting and deposition transcript services.
Lexitas says the affected files "consisted primarily of deposition transcripts, exhibits, and other legal documents," and that personal information in these documents "is scattered throughout written testimony rather than organized in a searchable database."
Your letter still qualifies for a free review.
