Cutcliffe Archetto & Santilli’s Data Breach Investigation

On May 22, 2025, Cutcliffe discovered that it was the target of a cybersecurity incident that potentially exposed personal data. Upon detection, the firm took immediate action to secure its network, notified law enforcement, and engaged independent IT security and forensic investigators to determine the scope of the breach.

The investigation revealed that while there was no evidence of data misuse, it is possible that personal information, including names, addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers, may have been exposed. Cutcliffe has not received any reports of identity theft related to the incident since the breach occurred.

As part of the ongoing response, Cutcliffe has worked to strengthen its security measures and is providing affected individuals with credit monitoring and fraud assistance services.

When Did This Breach Occur?

The breach was identified on May 22, 2025, and the incident response process, including the investigation, was conducted shortly thereafter. The firm completed its investigation and is now notifying affected individuals.

What Information Was Breached?

The compromised information may have included the following personal data:

• Name
• Address
• Date of birth
• Social Security number

Although Cutcliffe has not received reports of identity theft, these are sensitive data elements that could potentially be exploited if misused.

What You Can Do

If your personal information was affected by this breach, we recommend the following steps:

1. Activate Free Credit Monitoring – Follow the instructions in your notification letter to activate Single Bureau Credit Monitoring, which includes credit report and credit score access. You must enroll within 12 months to receive these services.
2. Monitor Your Accounts – Regularly review your bank, credit card, and other financial statements for any unauthorized activity. Report any suspicious transactions immediately to your financial institutions.
3. Place a Fraud Alert or Credit Freeze – Consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze on your credit reports with the three major credit bureaus (Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion) to prevent fraudulent activity.
4. Be Vigilant for Phishing Attempts – Beware of unsolicited communications requesting personal information. Fraudsters often use data breaches to craft convincing phishing emails, calls, or text messages.
5. Report Fraud or Identity Theft – If you notice any signs of fraudulent activity, report it to law enforcement, the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), or IdentityTheft.gov.
