What happened
Singleton Schreiber, LLP detected suspicious activity on an employee device and immediately opened an investigation. The firm's forensic review confirmed that files on the device were acquired without authorization on February 19, 2026. Singleton Schreiber engaged the incident through a forensic examination of the affected files to determine what information was involved.
On April 21, 2026, after examining the affected files, Singleton Schreiber determined that they contained personal information belonging to certain individuals. The firm filed notice with the Maine Attorney General on June 2, 2026 and mailed letters to affected individuals beginning May 27, 2026, more than three months after the unauthorized access occurred. According to the notice, the data potentially involved included first and last name, Social Security number, driver's license number, health insurance information, and medical or treatment information. Affected individuals are being offered complimentary single-bureau credit monitoring, credit reports, and credit scores through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company, with an enrollment deadline of August 27, 2026.
Because the exposed data is reported to include Social Security numbers alongside health insurance and medical or treatment information, affected individuals may face an elevated risk of identity theft and medical or insurance fraud. Whether the firm's pre-breach security practices met applicable legal standards, and whether the more than three-month delay between the unauthorized access and notification caused additional harm, are among the issues being evaluated.
