November 13, 2026 – Federman & Sherwood is investigating a data breach involving PCH Digital, LLC that affected personal information belonging to adults and children.
According to notification letters dated November 5, 2026, PCH Digital detected suspicious activity in a portion of a legacy computer network on February 18, 2026. The company engaged third-party cybersecurity experts, and its investigation determined in April that an unauthorized third party had accessed a portion of the network between February 4 and February 18, 2026.

Depending on the individual, the affected files contained names, contact information, government identification numbers such as Social Security numbers, limited medical information, or dates of birth. The medical information included diagnoses, treatment details, or information about medical conditions individuals had chosen to share with the company. Not all categories applied to every affected person.
PCH Digital stated that it migrated data to a new environment with increased safeguards and notified law enforcement. Certain affected individuals are being offered 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring and fraud assistance or cyber-monitoring services, with an enrollment deadline of January 28, 2027.
The potentially affected information may include:
