Bridgewater Law Group, APC has notified clients of a data security incident after identifying suspicious activity within its computer systems on or about December 24, 2025. Following the discovery, the firm secured its systems and worked with cybersecurity professionals to investigate. That investigation determined that an unauthorized third party may have accessed or acquired data stored on the firm’s network, a type of incident generally described as a hacking or system intrusion.
The notice was sent to clients whose legal matters with the firm involved personal information stored in the affected systems. Because Bridgewater Law Group is a law firm, the exposed data may include sensitive case files and medical information gathered as part of legal representation, not just standard contact details.
What information was exposed?
- Name and contact information
- Case-related documents
- Medical records or medical information obtained in connection with legal representation
- Social Security Number (if provided for your case)
The firm is offering 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity restoration services at no cost to affected clients. To enroll, please contact us on how to enroll in these services by calling 626-733-4100.
What should you do now?
- Enroll in the free credit monitoring and identity restoration services offered by Bridgewater Law Group as soon as possible.
- Request your free credit reports at www.annualcreditreport.com or by calling (877) 322-8228, and review them for unfamiliar accounts or inquiries.
- Consider placing a security freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, which prevents new credit from being opened in your name without a PIN.
- Because Social Security numbers and medical information may have been involved, watch closely for unusual medical bills, insurance statements, or explanation-of-benefits notices, as well as any unexpected tax or credit activity.
- Consider signing up for a service like Aura or LifeLock, which can alert you if your information appears elsewhere.
- Report any suspected identity theft to the FTC at www.identitytheft.gov or by calling (877) 438-4338.
- Stay alert for phishing emails or calls referencing this incident, and avoid clicking links or sharing information with unverified contacts, similar to tactics seen in other recent breaches like the Take One Systems ransomware incident.
