What happened
Tarter Krinsky & Drogin LLP, a full-service law firm headquartered in New York City, confirmed that an unauthorized actor accessed its servers between July 9 and September 9, 2025. The firm discovered the intrusion on September 10, 2025, immediately engaged third-party forensic specialists to investigate, and notified federal law enforcement. The investigation determined that sensitive personal information stored on the affected systems was viewed or obtained.
The firm filed notice with the Maine Attorney General and began mailing letters to potentially affected individuals on June 5, 2026, roughly nine months after the breach was discovered. The public notice states that names and other personal details contained in the compromised files were exposed, but it does not itemize all specific categories of data involved. As of the notice date, the firm reports no evidence of identity theft or fraud stemming from the incident. Impacted individuals are being offered 12 months of complimentary single-bureau credit monitoring, credit reports, credit scores, and proactive fraud assistance through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company.
Because Tarter Krinsky & Drogin is a law firm, affected individuals may have had sensitive personal, financial, and legal matter information on file. Whether the firm's pre-breach security practices met applicable legal standards, and whether the nine-month notification delay caused additional harm to affected individuals, are among the issues being evaluated.
