H&H Color Lab has disclosed a data breach following unauthorized access to its network, potentially compromising the personal information of over 2,000 individuals.
H&H Color Lab’s Data Breach Investigation
H&H Color Lab, a photo lab and printing service provider, recently notified individuals about a cybersecurity breach that exposed sensitive personal data. On July 31, 2025, the company detected suspicious activity within its network, prompting an immediate investigation in partnership with third-party cybersecurity experts.
The forensic analysis revealed that an unauthorized third party had infiltrated the network on the night of July 30, 2025. The intruders accessed or exfiltrated files stored on the company’s systems. By November 10, 2025, H&H completed its review of the compromised files and began identifying potentially affected individuals. The company finalized breach discovery on December 23, 2025.
In total, 2,177 individuals were affected by the breach, including four residents of Maine. Though H&H has not disclosed the exact nature of the data exposed, its communications suggest that personal information such as full names and other sensitive identifiers were involved. These types of data can be used to facilitate identity theft, phishing scams, and fraudulent financial activity.
The company has since enhanced its digital security infrastructure and informed law enforcement of the incident. In a move to help affected individuals, H&H is offering a complimentary membership to Experian’s IdentityWorks credit monitoring service. Impacted individuals are encouraged to enroll before the activation deadline.
This breach is another stark reminder of the growing threats organizations face from cybercriminals—and of the serious consequences for consumers when data is not properly safeguarded. Class Action U is committed to helping consumers hold companies accountable and pursue justice when their private data is mishandled.
