Caldwell Trust Company, a Florida-based trust firm specializing in asset management, trustee services, and financial planning, experienced a data breach on or around September 4, 2025. An unauthorized individual gained access to its computer network and viewed files containing sensitive personal information, including names, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers of clients. The breach exposed customers to risks of identity theft, fraud, and financial harm, prompting a class-action investigation by law firm Edelson Lechtzin LLP to seek legal remedies for affected individuals. The incident underscores significant vulnerabilities in Caldwell’s cybersecurity measures, potentially eroding client trust and leading to reputational and financial repercussions. Customers receiving breach notifications were advised to monitor credit reports and account statements for suspicious activity. The breach’s scope suggests a targeted cyber attack aimed at extracting high-value personal data for malicious use.
