Background

What happened in the TD Bank, N.A data breach

In its October 26, 2026 notice to the New Hampshire Attorney General, TD Bank, N.A said it "recently learned that on August 27, 2026, some of the customers' personal information was compromised by one of our employees." The bank's customer letter calls this "an isolated incident" that is being addressed through an internal investigation by its corporate security team. TD Bank reported that 2 of its customers who are New Hampshire residents were affected. The New Hampshire Attorney General lists the notice with a date of October 29, 2026.

The customer letter TD Bank filed with the New Hampshire Attorney General says the personal information that may have been included was the customer's name, address, email, phone number, Social Security number, identification numbers, transactional data, date of birth, and account number. TD Bank told New Hampshire that it has notified the affected customers in writing and offered two years of free credit monitoring. The letter describes this as a complimentary two-year Fraud-Defender membership provided by Merchants Information Solutions, which includes monitoring of the customer's TransUnion credit file, dark web monitoring and an assigned Identity Theft Recovery Advocate. The letter also says that customers who would like to close their existing account(s) and open new account(s) can contact the bank, which will cover all expenses associated with this process.

The letter does not say how the employee obtained the information, when the bank learned of it, or how many customers were affected in total. Whether TD Bank's safeguards over employee access to customer information met legal standards is among the issues being evaluated.
