Fishman, Larsen & Callister Data Breach Investigation

Fishman, Larsen & Callister, P.C., a law firm, reported that it experienced a network disruption on June 9, 2025. Upon discovering the disruption, FLC immediately took steps to secure its network and engaged cybersecurity experts to investigate the incident.

The investigation determined that an unknown actor acquired certain data without authorization on or about June 8, 2025. As part of its response, FLC retained a third-party vendor to conduct a comprehensive review of the affected data to determine whether personal information was involved.

On February 5, 2026, FLC confirmed the scope of the incident and secured sufficient information to begin notifying affected individuals. The total number of persons affected by this breach is 3,606, including one Maine resident.

Although FLC has not publicly disclosed the specific type of hacking method used beyond classifying the incident as an external system breach, the unauthorized acquisition of sensitive personal information presents potential long-term risks to affected individuals.

FLC has stated that it takes the privacy and security of information within its possession very seriously. Upon discovery of the incident, the firm implemented additional security measures designed to enhance its network defenses and reduce the risk of similar incidents in the future. The firm also notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation and is cooperating with any resulting investigation.

Law firms often store highly sensitive information in connection with legal services provided to clients and related business entities. When unauthorized access occurs, individuals whose information was entrusted to the firm may face risks of identity theft, fraud, and misuse of personal data—even if no immediate fraudulent activity has been detected.

At Class Action U, we believe that organizations handling sensitive personal information have a responsibility to implement strong cybersecurity safeguards. When those safeguards fail, affected individuals deserve transparency, protection, and the opportunity to explore their legal rights.
