Standard Calibrations, Inc. was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the NH Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on February 21, 2025.
From the AG filing description
Standard Calibrations, Inc. operates within the highly technical specialized engineering, manufacturing support, and industrial metrology sector. As a precision calibration and measurement service provider, the company works extensively with defense contractors, manufacturing enterprises, energy producers, and research institutions. In the course of performing rigorous equipment verification, dimensional analysis, and instrumentation compliance testing, Standard Calibrations maintains exhaustive corporate databases. These systems frequently house sensitive proprietary trade secrets, technical blueprints, vendor banking information, and comprehensive personnel records, including the Personally Identifiable Information (PII) of engineers, technicians, and administrative staff required for operational clearance, payroll administration, and vendor management. The security incident reported by Standard Calibrations, Inc. to the New Hampshire Attorney General in 2025 highlights the persistent vulnerabilities facing industrial service providers and technical contractors. While the exact initial vector remains under scrutiny, incidents of this magnitude typically involve sophisticated ransomware deployments, credential harvesting, or unauthorized intrusion into corporate network environments via compromised third-party vendor access points. In the realm of industrial calibration and technical services, threat actors often target centralized servers to extract high-value intellectual property alongside voluminous employee and corporate files, exploiting any lag in patch management or multi-factor authentication protocols. Data breach notification letters dispatched by Standard Calibrations, Inc. indicate that victims' confidential personal information has been compromised, exposing individuals to severe, long-term risks. The exposed data sets commonly include Full Names, Social Security Numbers, Dates of Birth, home addresses, direct deposit details, and tax documentation. When Social Security numbers and personal identification details are leaked in tandem with banking data, victims face an immediate threat of targeted identity theft, fraudulent credit card applications, unauthorized loans, and fraudulent tax filings. Furthermore, the specialized nature of the workforce data involved means that individuals may be uniquely vulnerable to sophisticated social engineering and phishing attacks tailored to their professional backgrounds. Under state and federal data privacy standards, including the New Hampshire Regulation of Business Practices and Consumer Protection Act, organizations like Standard Calibrations, Inc. hold a strict legal duty to implement and maintain reasonable security measures to safeguard sensitive personal data entrusted to them. Collecting and storing employee and vendor PII obligates a company to utilize robust encryption, advanced threat detection, and rigorous access controls. The occurrence of a significant data breach strongly suggests a failure in these fundamental administrative and technical safeguards, potentially giving rise to claims of negligence, breach of implied contract, and failure to provide timely and adequate warning. Receiving a formal data breach notification letter from Standard Calibrations, Inc. serves as an official acknowledgment that your private information was compromised due to corporate security lapses, providing you with the legal standing necessary to participate in a class action lawsuit. Class action litigation holds corporations accountable for lax cybersecurity practices and seeks to secure financial compensation for the stress, time, and mitigation costs incurred by victims. Our law firm evaluates these claims on a strict contingency fee basis, meaning you pay absolutely nothing out of pocket and owe no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Under the New Hampshire data breach notification law, you may have a legal claim against Standard Calibrations, Inc. if any of the following apply:
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.
Phone numbers exposed in breaches are used for SIM swapping attacks — hijacking your number to bypass two-factor authentication on financial accounts.
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.
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 Standard Calibrations, Inc. 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 Standard Calibrations, Inc. during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
