The New Hampshire Attorney General's office lists a data breach report from Money Matters, filed November 4, 2025. Companies in this situation send legally required notification letters to affected individuals — if you found Money Matters's letter in your mail, this page explains what it means and what you can do.
The New Hampshire Attorney General filing confirms the breach notice — not a court case. Dollar amounts and deadlines are shown only when a verifiable court filing supports them — nothing on this page estimates or guarantees a result.
Records filed with the New Hampshire AG show that Money Matters confirmed exposure of the information below:
Each exposed category makes the claim stronger. Courts treat unauthorized disclosure of this information as actionable harm.
Money Matters operates within the financial and wealth management sector, providing comprehensive financial planning, investment advisory services, tax preparation, and retirement portfolio management to individual clients, families, and small business owners. Because of the nature of its operations, Money Matters routinely collects, processes, and stores vast quantities of highly sensitive personal and financial data. Clients entrust the firm with complete visibility into their financial lives, including detailed banking information, tax identification numbers, investment portfolios, and net worth calculations. This makes Money Matters a central repository of lucrative personal and financial information, transforming the institution into a high-value target for cybercriminals seeking to exploit confidential client dossiers for financial gain.
In 2025, Money Matters reported a significant cybersecurity incident to the New Hampshire Attorney General, raising severe concerns regarding the security posture and digital infrastructure of the financial institution. While the exact vector of the breach remains under investigation, incidents within the financial services sector typically involve sophisticated ransomware attacks, unauthorized infiltration of legacy databases, third-party vendor compromises, or credential-stuffing campaigns aimed at bypassing multi-factor authentication defenses. Cybercriminals increasingly target financial advisory firms because a single network intrusion can yield thousands of complete client profiles that are ready for immediate monetization on the dark web or deployment in targeted spear-phishing campaigns.
The data compromised in the Money Matters security incident reportedly includes a hazardous combination of personally identifiable information and confidential financial records. Depending on the scope of the exposure, affected files likely contain full legal names, Social Security numbers, dates of birth, home addresses, banking account numbers, investment account details, and sensitive tax document records. The exposure of this information creates immediate, severe risks for victims. Social Security numbers and dates of birth form the building blocks of identity theft, enabling bad actors to open fraudulent credit lines, secure unauthorized loans, or intercept government benefits. Meanwhile, exposed banking and financial account numbers invite direct account takeovers, fraudulent wire transfers, and unauthorized asset liquidation, leaving victims vulnerable to catastrophic financial loss.
As a financial institution handling consumer financial data, Money Matters was bound by rigorous legal and regulatory obligations to safeguard client information against unauthorized disclosure. Under the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA), the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Safeguards Rule, and applicable New Hampshire state data protection statutes, financial institutions are legally mandated to implement comprehensive administrative, technical, and physical safeguards to protect non-public personal information. These legal frameworks require continuous risk assessments, encryption of data at rest and in transit, robust network monitoring, and strict vendor oversight. The occurrence of a data breach of this magnitude strongly suggests potential failures or lapses in fulfilling these foundational security mandates, opening the door to legal accountability.
Receiving a formal data breach notification letter from Money Matters is a clear legal acknowledgment that your confidential information was compromised due to inadequate data security practices. Under New Hampshire law and broader class action jurisprudence, affected individuals have the legal standing to pursue compensation for the stress, time, and financial risks imposed upon them, even before out-of-pocket fraudulent losses materialize. Our class action law firm is actively investigating claims against Money Matters on a contingency fee basis. This means you pay absolutely nothing out of pocket, and we only collect legal fees if we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Many people wrongly assume a claim requires proven fraud. The law recognizes data exposure alone as harm. See which of these describes your situation:
You received a data breach notification letter from Money Matters
You were a customer, patient, employee, or client of Money Matters
Your personal information was stored in Money Matters's systems
Your Social Security number or driver's license number was exposed
Your financial account, credit card, or banking information was disclosed
You reside in the United States (all 50 states eligible)
That letter is legally required and confirms your data was exposed. It also gives you standing to file a claim.
What your notification letter means & what to do next →Do these four things as soon as possible; each one protects you and strengthens any claim:
Your Money Matters notification letter is legal evidence. Keep both physical and digital copies somewhere safe — it establishes you were affected and anchors your claim.
Look for the credit-monitoring offer section of your Money Matters letter and enroll. It is free, and it creates a paper trail of any resulting fraud.
A no-cost freeze at each of the three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion) blocks new-account fraud in your name; unfreeze anytime you apply for credit.

Compensation in a case like Money Matters's depends on where you live, what was exposed, and how the company responded. Common recovery categories:
States like New Hampshire may allow statutory damages per incident regardless of actual harm — California sets $100–$750 as the benchmark.
If the breach led to fraudulent charges or unauthorized transactions on your accounts, those losses are recoverable.
Time spent handling breach fallout — freezes, disputes, monitoring — is compensable.
Outlays for monitoring services and identity-restoration help belong in your claim.
SSN and driver's license exposure creates long-term identity theft risk. Courts recognize the ongoing value of this harm and may award damages accordingly.
Exposure of financial account or credit/debit card information entitles victims to recover for actual and potential fraud losses.
New Hampshire's breach notification law (RSA 359-C) requires timely notice to affected individuals and the Attorney General. New Hampshire residents may pursue civil action for actual damages and attorney's fees stemming from inadequate data protection.
