MBE CPAs, LLP disclosed that an unauthorized party gained access to its network and may have compromised the sensitive personal information of the people it serves. The accounting firm has reported that the intrusion occurred on or about April 15, 2024, and was discovered around April 18, 2024. An investigation determined that files containing personal information were potentially accessed or removed, and affected individuals began receiving written notice of the incident.
The compromised data reportedly included highly sensitive personally identifiable information (PII). According to the disclosure, exposed information may have included names, Social Security numbers, and financial account information, with the specific data varying by individual. Because Social Security and financial account numbers can be used to commit identity theft and fraud, affected individuals are generally encouraged to monitor their accounts closely and take protective steps.
Reporting indicates that approximately 30,750 individuals had their information exposed in the MBE CPAs data breach. As part of its response, MBE CPAs has offered impacted individuals 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity theft restoration services through TransUnion. If you received a notification letter, a legal professional can review whether you may be entitled to additional compensation during a free case review.
You may have a claim if you received a notice that your information was involved in the MBE CPAs data breach. Companies that collect sensitive personal and financial data generally have a legal duty to protect it with reasonable safeguards. When a preventable breach exposes that data, affected individuals may be able to recover compensation for the time, expense, and risk of identity theft they now face. A legal professional can evaluate your situation at no cost.

Our attorneys investigate how the breach happened, whether reasonable security measures were in place, and what losses you may have suffered — while handling every step of the process for you.

How Do I Know If I Have an MBE CPAs Data Breach Claim?
You likely have a potential claim if you received a data breach notification letter from MBE CPAs and your personal or financial information was exposed. Three factors matter most: exposure, harm, and negligence. Exposure means your data — such as your Social Security number or financial account details — was part of the breach. Harm includes the time and money spent protecting yourself and the ongoing risk of identity theft. Negligence means the company failed to use reasonable safeguards. California law, including the California Consumer Privacy Act (Cal. Civ. Code § 1798.150), may allow affected consumers to seek statutory damages.

Data Breach & Privacy FAQs
Our Most Frequently Asked Questions
We've answered the most common ones below. If yours isn't here, call us — we're available 24/7.
MBE CPAs, an accounting firm, disclosed that an unauthorized party gained access to its network and may have compromised sensitive personal and financial information belonging to the people it serves. Reporting indicates the incident affected tens of thousands of individuals. The precise cause and scope are the kinds of facts examined closely as a data breach case develops.
Because accounting firms hold financial records, a breach like this can expose highly sensitive data, which may include names together with financial account details, tax-related information, or Social Security numbers. That combination can raise the risk of identity theft and financial fraud. An attorney can review the notice you received to help identify what was involved for you.
Keep the notice, enroll in any free credit monitoring offered, and watch your financial accounts and credit reports for unfamiliar activity. It is also wise to have your legal options reviewed, since accepting the free monitoring generally does not affect your ability to pursue a claim. Prompt attention helps protect both your finances and your options.
You may. Companies that collect sensitive personal and financial information have a duty to protect it, and when a failure to do so leads to exposure, affected individuals may have legal options. These matters are often pursued as class actions that combine many affected people's claims. The strength of any claim depends on what was exposed and what harm resulted.
The deadline depends on the legal theory involved, and data breach claims can be governed by different time limits running from the breach or its discovery. These windows can be shorter than people expect, so acting soon after receiving a notice helps protect your rights. Because deadlines have exceptions, confirm the one that applies to you promptly.
