April 8, 2025 – On January 8, 2024, Moorhead Law Group (“MLG”) discovered suspicious activity associated with a firm email account and immediately conducted an investigation, which included working with third-party specialists to ensure a comprehensive response. Through the investigation, it was determined that an individual had gained unauthorized access to an account and that certain information may have been accessed or acquired between December 26, 2023 and January 8, 2024. Upon discovery, we worked to identify the data potentially at risk to conduct a thorough review, with the assistance of third-party specialists, to determine the types of information at risk. Due to the thorough and complex nature of the review and information, this process required significant time and effort to review the potentially affected data, identify individuals potentially affected, confirm the associated information. This investigation process was recently completed on or around March 25, 2025, and MLG worked to confirm up-to-date contact information to provide individuals with notification. The information potentially at risk may contain individuals’ first and last name together with one or more of the following: date of birth, driver’s license number, Social Security number, passport number, medical information, health insurance information, and/or financial account information.
In response to this incident, we took immediate steps to secure MLG systems and engage third-party specialists to assist in a thorough investigation and response. Additionally, we have implemented additional security measures to further minimize the risk of a similar incident occurring in the future. We also notified law enforcement and are reviewing our policies and procedures related to data protection. We are also providing individuals access to credit monitoring and identity protection services as an added precaution.
