What happened
According to a notice McCoyd, Parkas & Ronan LLP filed with the Maine Attorney General, the firm identified ransomware activity within its network on May 14, 2026. The firm reports that the unauthorized activity occurred on May 13 and 14, 2026. McCoyd, Parkas & Ronan launched an internal investigation, retained outside counsel, and notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
The firm reported the incident to the Maine Attorney General on June 10, 2026 and began mailing written notification letters to affected individuals on June 11, 2026. McCoyd, Parkas & Ronan is offering 12 months of complimentary Experian IdentityWorks credit monitoring to those who received a letter. The firm has not publicly confirmed how many individuals were affected, and its review of whether any specific person's information was accessed or removed remains ongoing.
Because the firm handles estate planning, trust and estate administration, tax preparation, real estate, and litigation matters, the affected systems may have contained highly sensitive records, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, driver's license or non-driver identification numbers, health insurance information, financial account information, and tax return information. Information of this kind can be misused for identity theft and financial fraud, which is why affected clients are encouraged to monitor their accounts closely.
