Southeast Series of Lockton Companies, LLC was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the NH Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on April 8, 2025.
From the AG filing description
Southeast Series of Lockton Companies, LLC operates within the complex insurance brokerage, risk management, and employee benefits consulting sector. As a prominent player in the insurance and financial services landscape, the firm manages sophisticated risk portfolios, corporate insurance placements, and comprehensive employee benefit programs for a diverse client base ranging from mid-sized enterprises to major corporations. Because of its core operations, Southeast Series of Lockton Companies, LLC routinely collects, processes, and stores vast quantities of highly sensitive personal and financial information. This data includes comprehensive details regarding corporate executives, everyday employees, and beneficiaries who rely on the firm to administer group health plans, life insurance policies, retirement accounts, and complex claims processing. In 2025, Southeast Series of Lockton Companies, LLC formally reported a significant data security incident to the New Hampshire Attorney General, alerting regulators and affected individuals that unauthorized parties had breached their digital environment. While the exact vector of the attack remains under ongoing forensic evaluation, incidents affecting sophisticated insurance brokerages typically involve unauthorized access to centralized databases, sophisticated phishing campaigns targeting administrative credentials, or vulnerabilities within third-party vendor platforms used for benefits administration and policy management. Breaches of this nature often allow malicious actors to quietly dwell within a network, extracting reams of confidential files before detection occurs, underscoring systemic vulnerabilities in network perimeter defense and access control monitoring. The exposure resulting from this breach implicates highly sensitive data categories that pose severe, long-term risks to affected consumers and employees. Compromised information frequently includes full legal names, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, banking and direct deposit details, specific insurance policy numbers, claims histories, and detailed payroll or compensation records. The exposure of Social Security numbers combined with financial account data creates an immediate and alarming risk of identity theft, fraudulent credit card applications, and unauthorized financial account takeovers. Furthermore, leaked insurance and claims data exposes victims to targeted medical fraud, sophisticated social engineering scams, and unauthorized attempts to manipulate their employee benefits or intercept insurance payouts. Under state and federal regulatory frameworks, including the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act where applicable, as well as state-level data protection and consumer protection statutes, organizations like Southeast Series of Lockton Companies, LLC have an affirmative legal duty to implement and maintain robust, comprehensive administrative, physical, and technical safeguards to protect confidential consumer data. This includes deploying multi-factor authentication, conducting regular vulnerability assessments, encrypting data both in transit and at rest, and ensuring strict access controls. The occurrence of a data breach of this magnitude serves as a strong indicator that the company may have failed to adhere to these foundational industry standards, leaving sensitive consumer data vulnerable to predictable cyber threats. Receiving an official data notification letter from Southeast Series of Lockton Companies, LLC is a formal legal admission that your private information was compromised due to inadequate security measures. Under the law, this breach of data privacy provides affected individuals with the immediate legal standing necessary to participate in a class action lawsuit, seeking accountability, enhanced credit monitoring services, and financial compensation for the stress and risk incurred. Importantly, victims do not need to prove that they have already suffered direct financial loss to seek legal recourse; the mere exposure of your sensitive data constitutes a compensable injury. Our firm is actively investigating potential claims against Southeast Series of Lockton Companies, LLC on a contingency fee basis, meaning there is never any out-of-pocket cost or financial risk to you unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Based on the data types reported in this filing:
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.
You may have been affected by the Southeast Series of Lockton Companies, LLC data breach if:
Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.
Professional credit monitoring services cost $10–$40 per month. Identity theft restoration services, if needed, can cost hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Courts have awarded these costs as direct damages in SSN breach cases.
Direct financial losses resulting from the breach — unauthorized charges, fraudulent transfers, or fees incurred through fraud — are recoverable as compensatory damages. Banks may reverse some charges; a class action recovers the remainder and associated costs.
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.
Applicable State Law
This breach was reported under the New Hampshire data breach notification law, which mandates notification and establishes your right to seek damages.
No. Under New Hampshire data breach notification law 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.
Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Southeast Series of Lockton Companies, 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 Southeast Series of Lockton Companies, LLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
