What happened in the Shareholder Representative Services data breach
In a letter dated October 29, 2026, Shareholder Representative Services, which signs the letter as "a subsidiary of SRS Acquiom Inc.," told recipients that it "recently had an incident involving some of your personal information: your name, your bank's name, your routing and account numbers, and a payment amount." The letter states that this "happened because of an error on our part." The company reported the incident to the Massachusetts Attorney General on October 30, 2026, and the Massachusetts filing lists 6 Massachusetts residents.
The letter says the company has "no indication that your personal information has been misused." It also says the company has flagged recipients' files and will take additional steps to confirm identity for any payment instruction changes by calling a number already on file. The letter does not say when the incident happened, when it was discovered, or exactly how the error occurred, and it does not offer credit monitoring.
Whether the company's handling of this information met legal standards is among the issues being evaluated.
