Phillips Feldman Group, P.A., which describes itself as an accounting firm in Naples, Florida, has sent a notice dated October 30, 2026 about a recent data security incident that may have involved personal information. A sample of the letter was posted among the Massachusetts notification letters for November 2026.

The letter offers complimentary credit monitoring but does not describe what happened. This page explains what the letter does and does not say.

Phillips Feldman Group’s Data Breach Investigation

Phillips Feldman Group, P.A. sent a letter dated October 30, 2026 to tell people about a recent data security incident that may have involved their personal information. The letter was posted by the state of Massachusetts in its list of data breach notification letters for November 2026. The posted copy is a sample. It is a scanned image of the letter, with blanks where a recipient’s name, address, enrollment code and the subject line would appear. The letter is signed by the firm at 801 Laurel Oak Drive, Suite 303, in Naples, Florida, and the firm’s website describes it as an accounting firm at the same address.

The letter says Phillips Feldman Group takes the privacy and security of all information in its possession very seriously and asks people to read it carefully because it contains information about the incident and steps they can take to protect their information. In the posted copy, however, the letter says almost nothing about the incident itself. It does not say what kind of incident occurred, when it took place, or how it was discovered. It does not say who was behind it, which information was involved, or how many people are affected.

Most of the letter is devoted to rights under Massachusetts law. It says that, under Massachusetts law, a person has the right to obtain any police report filed in regard to the incident, and that a victim of identity theft has the right to file a police report and obtain a copy of it. It explains that Massachusetts law allows consumers to place a security freeze on their credit reports, and that a freeze may delay, interfere with or prevent the timely approval of requests for new loans, credit, mortgages, employment, housing or other services.

The letter explains how to request a freeze. A person must send a written request to each of the three major consumer reporting agencies, Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and provide identifying information such as a full name, Social Security number and date of birth. The letter says no fee is required to place, lift or remove a security freeze, and that the agencies have three business days after receiving a request to act on it. It also points people to annualcreditreport.com for a free credit report and to the Federal Trade Commission for more on preventing identity theft.

The firm is offering complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft protection services through IDX, which the letter describes as a data breach and recovery services expert. The services include 24 months of credit and CyberScan monitoring, a $1,000,000 insurance reimbursement policy, and fully managed identity theft recovery services. The letter says the deadline to enroll is January 30, 2027. People enroll through the IDX website using the enrollment code printed on their own letter, by scanning the QR code on the letter, or by calling the IDX team listed in the notice.

State laws set deadlines and content rules for breach notices, and they differ from state to state. Most states require a company to notify affected residents without unreasonable delay, and many require a report to the state attorney general once a breach reaches a certain size. Because each state publishes different details, the same incident can look very different depending on which filing a reader finds. A thin notice in one state does not mean the incident was small, and a longer notice in another state may add details that this page does not yet have.

The letter does not say what categories of personal information were involved. It does not say whether the people who received it are clients, employees or someone else. We searched for other public information about this filing and found nothing we could tie to it. This page therefore does not guess at the cause or the type of data. Anything stated here comes only from the posted letter and the firm’s public website.

Anyone who received a letter from Phillips Feldman Group should read it closely and keep it, along with the enrollment code. If you think you may have been affected but have not received a notice, this page cannot tell you whether your information was involved, and only the firm can answer that. The facts here come only from the posted letter and may change if the firm shares more.

When Did This Breach Occur?

The posted letter is dated October 30, 2026. It does not say when the incident happened or when the firm learned of it. It appears in the Massachusetts list of notification letters for November 2026.

The letter says the deadline to enroll in the credit monitoring offer is January 30, 2027. Until the firm or a regulator publishes more, the timeline of the incident is not publicly available.

What Information Was Breached?

The letter does not say what kinds of personal information were involved. It says only that a data security incident may have involved personal information.

Because the firm has not listed the data types, this page does not guess at them. The notice you receive is the best indication of what was involved in your case.
