BDG Law Group Discloses Data Breach Affecting Client Information
A Los Angeles law firm detected a network disruption in September 2025 that exposed personal information belonging to certain individuals.
BDG Law Group, a Los Angeles-based law firm, has issued a formal notice disclosing a data security incident that compromised personal information tied to an undisclosed number of individuals, according to a statement released October 14, 2026.
The firm said it first detected unusual activity on its network on September 11, 2025, and subsequently engaged cybersecurity specialists to investigate the scope and nature of the disruption. The gap between initial discovery and public notification — spanning more than a year — reflects timelines that are not uncommon in complex forensic investigations, though such delays have drawn regulatory scrutiny in other high-profile breach cases.
