Data Breach Summary
Peter WM Maneri Jr. CPA LLC recently announced a data security breach that impacted several New Hampshire residents by exposing their sensitive personal information.
Peter WM Maneri Jr. CPA LLC, a certified public accounting firm based in Norwich, Connecticut, recently discovered a data security incident involving third-party software used in its operations. On or about August 14, 2025, the company identified potential unauthorized activity within the software. Upon noticing irregularities, Peter Maneri took immediate steps to secure its network and enlisted the help of third-party specialists to investigate the scope of the breach.
Initially, the third-party vendor assured Peter Maneri that the data within the software was encrypted while stored (“encrypted at rest”). However, on September 16, 2025, a crucial development came to light: certain data had been copied without authorization and, more critically, without encryption at rest. This left the sensitive data vulnerable and exposed to potential misuse.
The firm swiftly reviewed the data to understand the extent of the breach and determine which individuals were affected. By September 19, 2025, Peter Maneri had identified that 15 New Hampshire residents may have been impacted by this event. The exposed data included personal details such as the affected individuals’ full names and Social Security numbers, which are highly sensitive and can lead to identity theft or fraud if used maliciously.
Following the discovery, Peter Maneri issued a formal written notification to the potentially impacted New Hampshire residents via First Class Mail on October 8, 2025. The notification included key details of the breach and provided contact information for the affected individuals to inquire further or seek assistance. The company is working to ensure that this issue is fully resolved and is cooperating with relevant authorities to prevent future security incidents.
The breach was first detected on or about August 14, 2025. After further investigation, Peter Maneri confirmed unauthorized access and data copying took place, without encryption, on September 16, 2025.
