Cove Risk Services Data Breach Investigation
Cove Risk Services, LLC, a provider of workers’ compensation-related services to various organizations—has reported a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to its internal systems. While the company emphasizes there is no confirmed misuse of data, the scope and sensitivity of the exposed information raise serious concerns.
On May 3, 2025, the company experienced a network disruption, which initially appeared to be a technical issue. Upon further investigation with the help of third-party forensic specialists, it became clear that this disruption was the result of unauthorized access. The breach continued through May 5, 2025.
Cove Risk Services promptly launched an investigation to determine the extent of the exposure and identify which individuals may have been affected. By November 10, 2025, they concluded their analysis and began preparing notifications to impacted individuals.

This type of breach poses risks of identity theft and financial fraud, especially if Social Security numbers, health information, or financial account data were among the accessed files.
To help mitigate potential harm, Cove Risk is offering 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection services. The company has also taken steps to reinforce its network defenses and has committed to ongoing improvements in cybersecurity protocols.
