What happened in the Rockland Trust data breach
In a notice letter filed in Massachusetts and posted on October 29, 2026, Rockland Trust told the recipient that their information may have been inadvertently disclosed to another party, and that this happened "due to this error." The letter says Rockland Trust has addressed this with its staff and has reiterated the importance of properly handling and safeguarding customer information and following established procedures. The Massachusetts filing lists 2 Massachusetts residents.
The posted copy of the letter shows a placeholder, "(listed information potentially exposed)", where the information involved would appear, so the public copy does not show which categories of information were involved. The letter does not give a date for the incident, when it was discovered, or when letters were sent. It offers a complimentary 24-month membership of Experian IdentityWorks and recommends that recipients monitor their account(s) vigilantly over the next 12 to 24 months.
One issue being evaluated is whether Rockland Trust's handling of customer information met legal standards.
What to do if you got a Rockland Trust data breach letter
Keep your notice letter

Am I eligible to join a class action against Rockland Trust? +
If you received a breach notice from Rockland Trust saying your information may have been inadvertently disclosed to another party, you are likely eligible for a free case evaluation. Eligibility depends on your state of residence, what information of yours was involved, and any losses you have suffered. Dapeer Law will review your notice at no cost.
How much money could I receive from a class action lawsuit? +
Data breach class action recoveries vary significantly. Settlements typically range from a few hundred dollars for basic out-of-pocket losses to several thousand dollars for documented identity theft, with class size, damages, and negotiation all affecting the final amount. No payout is guaranteed, and this investigation has not yet resulted in a settlement.
What personal information was exposed in the breach? +
The sample letter posted in Massachusetts shows a placeholder, "(listed information potentially exposed)", where the information involved would appear. The public copy therefore does not show which categories of information were involved. Your own letter should list the information potentially exposed for you.

Yes. The Massachusetts letter offers a complimentary 24-month membership of Experian IdentityWorks. The letter says this membership monitors Experian, Equifax and TransUnion files and includes identity restoration and up to $1 million in identity theft insurance. Enroll by the date printed in your letter; the posted sample shows a placeholder instead of a date. Enrollment does not waive your right to pursue a claim.
