What happened in the Waterford Hotel Group & LMD Holding data breach
On May 5, 2026, Waterford identified suspicious activity on certain computer systems. According to its notice letter, an investigation with the assistance of third-party forensic specialists determined that an unknown actor gained access to certain computer systems and was able to view or download certain data. The letter does not say when the unauthorized access began.
Waterford's notice to the New Hampshire Attorney General states that on or about September 25, 2026, more than four months after the suspicious activity was identified, Waterford began providing written notice to 383 New Hampshire residents. The New Hampshire filing states that the information that could have been subject to unauthorized access includes name, driver's license number, Social Security number, and payment card information. The sample consumer letter posted with that filing says the impacted information includes the recipient's name, and the remaining categories are left blank in the posted copy.
Waterford reported 21,973 affected individuals to the Indiana Attorney General, including 24 Indiana residents, and the sample letter states that approximately 655 Rhode Island residents may be impacted. Waterford is offering 12 months of single-bureau credit monitoring through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company. Whether Waterford's security practices met legal standards, and whether the time taken to send notices caused additional harm, are among the issues being evaluated.
