What happened
On July 29, 2026, Wei Wei & Company LLP notified the Massachusetts Attorney General of a recent incident that, in the firm's words, "may have affected" the personal information of state residents. The firm mailed notice letters to affected individuals the same day, describing the event in general terms and the steps being taken to protect those involved. The Massachusetts filing lists six affected state residents and identifies Social Security numbers among the information involved.
The public notice does not describe the cause of the incident, the dates of any unauthorized access, or the full categories of data at issue, so several material facts remain unknown and are being evaluated. Because the filing does not state when the incident was discovered, the length of any delay between discovery and notification cannot be calculated from the public record. Wei Wei & Company is offering affected individuals 24 months of complimentary single-bureau credit monitoring, credit reports, and credit scores through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company, along with fraud assistance and remediation support. Enrollment is required within 90 days of the letter date, and the firm has set up a dedicated help line at 833-319-6724.
Accounting firms typically hold Social Security numbers, tax filings, and income records for clients and their household members, which makes them a recurring target for attackers seeking material for tax fraud and identity theft. A Social Security number cannot easily be changed, so exposure can create a long-term risk. Dapeer Law is reviewing whether Wei Wei & Company had reasonable safeguards in place and whether affected individuals may have claims under applicable data protection laws.

Keep your notice letter, since it contains your enrollment code and serves as evidence.

Am I eligible to join a class action against Wei Wei & Company? +

How much money could I receive from a class action lawsuit? +
Data breach class action recoveries vary significantly.

No payout is guaranteed, and this investigation has not yet resulted in a settlement.
What personal information was exposed in the breach? +
The Massachusetts Attorney General filing identifies Social Security numbers as the information involved. The firm's public notice does not itemize additional categories of data, so other information may have been affected. Check your individual letter for any specifics and keep it for your records.
