Paul Brillant, a firm specializing in wealth management and financial advisory services, has reported a data breach to the Office of the Maine Attorney General. The filing, dated May 17, 2026, indicates that a security incident compromised the firm's digital infrastructure, potentially exposing confidential client data.

The data types reportedly involved are Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Financial Account Number, Routing Number, Tax Return Information, Investment and Portfolio Details, Mailing Address, Email Address, and Phone Number.
