Jeffrey W. Krol and Associates, LTD. suffered a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to sensitive client information, including Social Security and banking data.
Jeffrey W. Krol and Associates’s Data Breach Investigation
On November 22, 2025, Jeffrey W. Krol and Associates, LTD. (“the Company”) discovered a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to its IT systems. The attack compromised files containing highly sensitive personal information of clients. In response, the Company immediately launched an investigation with the support of external forensic consultants to assess the impact and remove the threat actor from their systems.
The breach is described as an external system hack—unauthorized individuals infiltrated the firm’s digital infrastructure and accessed or exfiltrated private data. A thorough internal investigation concluded on December 20, 2025, revealing that the threat actor may have accessed personal information such as names, contact details, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, and banking details.
The firm reported that a total of 3,067 individuals were affected, including three residents of Maine. While there is currently no evidence that the exposed data has been misused, the sensitive nature of the accessed information presents a substantial risk of identity theft and financial fraud.
To mitigate potential harm, Jeffrey W. Krol and Associates is offering affected individuals two years of free credit monitoring services. The company also claims to be enhancing its cybersecurity defenses to prevent similar attacks in the future.
Despite these actions, affected individuals are left to cope with the fear and inconvenience that follow such breaches. At Class Action U, we recognize how daunting it can be to fight back when your private information is mishandled by a trusted institution. But you don’t have to stand alone—legal options are available.
