Investigation notes

Catholic Charities New Hampshire is a social services organization that provides a wide range of community support, including behavioral health counseling, adoption services, and elder care assistance. Given the sensitive nature of these services, the organization typically collects and stores highly personal information, including medical records, Social Security numbers, and detailed family or financial histories required for program eligibility. This data breach was officially reported to the New Hampshire Attorney General in 2025, confirming that unauthorized parties may have accessed sensitive personal information. If you received a data breach notification letter, it indicates that your personal data was likely contained within the compromised systems. We recommend reviewing the letter carefully to understand the specific scope of the exposure and the identity protection services being offered.
