Bee, Bergvall & Co data breach

Clerk's notes

Bee, Bergvall & Co, a professional services firm specializing in accounting, auditing, and financial consulting, formally reported a data security incident to the Vermont Attorney General on September 25, 2026.

The breach indicates a compromise within their digital environment.

The reported incident involved the exposure of client data including Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Financial Account Number, and Mailing Address.
