What happened in the RL Schreiber data breach
According to the sample notice letter posted with the New Hampshire filing, RL Schreiber experienced a network disruption on May 30, 2025 and investigated with support from independent cybersecurity experts. The sample letter says the investigation determined that certain files were accessed without authorization on May 28, 2025. The cover letter RL Schreiber's counsel sent to the New Hampshire Attorney General says it identified suspicious activity in its network on May 30, 2025, and gives the date of unauthorized access as May 28, 2026.
RL Schreiber then reviewed the accessible dataset, a review the letter says was completed on September 23, 2026. The sample letters are dated October 20, 2026, and the New Hampshire filing says written notice was provided on or about October 22, 2026, more than 16 months after the network disruption. The New Hampshire filing states that the information that could have been subject to unauthorized access includes first and last name, as well as Social Security number. The Massachusetts filing lists Social Security numbers, and the Vermont Attorney General's table lists Social Security Numbers. RL Schreiber says it has no evidence of misuse, or attempted misuse, of any potentially accessed information.
The letter posted with the New Hampshire filing offers 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company. The letter posted with the Massachusetts filing offers these services for 24 months. Whether the company's security practices met legal standards, and whether the time taken to notify individuals caused additional harm, are among the issues being evaluated.
