Verita Global Data Breach Investigation
In 2025, Verita Global, LLC, a company specializing in legal services to trustees and fiduciaries, disclosed a significant data security incident involving its network environment. On June 18, an unauthorized actor reportedly gained access to certain case files under Verita Global’s control.
These files belonged to Harvey Sender, Trustee. Upon discovery, Verita initiated internal containment and investigation efforts. Notice of the breach was later sent to affected individuals on October 14, and Verita reported the incident to regulatory authorities, including the Maine Attorney General’s office.
What happened at Verita Global?
The exposed data varied depending on the individual, but it is believed that among the compromised fields were names, contact details, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, and bank account numbers (excluding security codes). Because of the nature of this information, those impacted face risks such as identity theft, fraud, and financial misrepresentation.
In response to the breach, Verita Global engaged external cybersecurity experts to assess the incident, attempted to shore up security gaps, and offered one year of free credit monitoring and identity protection services for those affected.
Legal Rights and Potential Claims
Victims of the Verita Global breach may have several legal options. Individuals can pursue claims under state privacy and consumer protection laws if the company failed to use reasonable safeguards to protect sensitive data. Negligence and breach of contract claims may also apply when a company’s data protection policies fall below industry standards.
Some affected individuals may choose to participate in class action lawsuits, which consolidate similar claims into one case. Possible compensation includes reimbursement for fraud-related costs, expenses for credit monitoring, and damages for emotional distress or loss of privacy. In some cases, courts can also order the company to improve its cybersecurity systems or undergo regular audits to prevent future breaches.
