What Happened?
Forrestall CPAs LLC was listed in a California Attorney General sample breach notice. According to the company’s own notification letter, an unauthorized individual accessed the firm’s network between December 22nd, 2025, and December 30th, 2025, and viewed and obtained certain files during that window. Upon discovering the incident, Forrestall CPAs engaged a cybersecurity firm to assist with the investigation and notified law enforcement. The breach was reported to the California Attorney General on August 17th, 2026—approximately eight months after the breach window closed. The specific types of personal information involved were not disclosed in the sample letter, as those fields were templated and left blank.
