What Happened
National Insurance Company appears on the Massachusetts list of data breach notification letters for October 2026. Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP issued the notice; it held the affected information on behalf of a client and obtained it while providing legal services. The firm confirmed on September 25, 2026 that sensitive personal information was in the impacted files, but the notice does not state when the unauthorized access began or how the files were reached, and no total number of affected individuals has been made public.
What Personal Information May Be at Risk
According to the notice, the information involved included names, Social Security numbers, and insurance account numbers, and, in some instances, dates of birth; not everyone received the same set of information. A Social Security number, combined with a name and date of birth, can be used to open credit accounts or file false tax returns, and an insurance account number increases the risk of fraudulent claims.
Your Legal Options
Edelson Lechtzin LLP is investigating a potential class action on behalf of individuals whose sensitive personal information may have been compromised. A successful case could recover compensation for losses such as lost time, out-of-pocket costs, and loss of privacy, and could push the organizations responsible to strengthen how they protect personal information. The firm will evaluate your rights and potential claims at no cost.
