Data Exposed
O. Berk Company of New England LLC was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the MA Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on March 6, 2026.
O. Berk Company of New England LLC appears to be a packaging and distribution business, which typically maintains comprehensive records related to its commercial operations, employees, and business partners. As a result of this position, the organization routinely collects and stores sensitive personal and operational information, including individual identification and corporate documentation. Official records indicate that a data security incident affecting this entity was formally reported to the Massachusetts Attorney General in 2026. Individuals whose personal information may have been compromised during the incident were subsequently issued an official data breach notification letter. If you received this correspondence, it serves to inform you about the nature of the security event and outlines the protective measures and resources available to help safeguard your personal data.
Based on the data types reported, affected individuals face:
Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
Home address exposure can enable mail theft, package fraud, and targeted phishing attacks that reference your known location.
What the Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal statutes entitle you to recover:
The hours spent responding to a data breach — canceling accounts, contacting credit bureaus, updating passwords, and investigating fraud — represent compensable economic harm in data breach litigation.
Once your SSN is exposed, protection becomes an ongoing expense. Plaintiffs in data breach settlements have recovered costs for credit freezes, identity protection subscriptions, and time spent dealing with fraudulent accounts — sometimes covering multiple years of exposure.
Several state data breach laws provide for statutory minimum damages — fixed amounts recoverable per affected individual regardless of actual loss. These provisions exist specifically to make legal action viable for victims who have not yet experienced direct harm.
Note: an attorney general breach filing does not by itself establish a settlement fund, a payment amount, or a claim deadline. If an official settlement notice is later issued, rely on that notice for payment details and deadlines.
No. Under Massachusetts Data Security Law (201 CMR 17.00) and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.
Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.
State statutes of limitations for data breach claims typically run 2–4 years from the date of the breach or its discovery. Because this breach was recently disclosed, the window is open — but acting early preserves your options and strengthens the case.
Accepting free credit monitoring from O. Berk Company of New England LLC does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by O. Berk Company of New England LLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
Most data breach class actions resolve within 18 to 36 months, though timelines vary by court and complexity. Your participation requires minimal effort — typically completing a claim form. Our office handles all litigation; you are notified when a settlement is reached.
