Redbrick LMD Data Breach Affects 8,301 Individuals: SSNs Exposed

On March 7, 2025, Redbrick LMD, a real estate investment, management, and development company based in Washington, DC, determined that unauthorized actors had accessed and likely taken files from its network. The breach was first detected on July 29, 2024, when unusual activity was noticed in Redbrick LMD’s network environment. The company immediately secured its systems and launched a comprehensive investigation with the help of external cybersecurity professionals.

After months of forensic review and manual analysis of the affected files, Redbrick LMD confirmed that certain personal information had been compromised. The exposed data includes Social Security Numbers and Account Numbers—both considered highly sensitive personally identifiable information (PII).

According to disclosures filed with state authorities, a total of 8,301 individuals in the United States were affected by this incident. The impact by state includes 4 people in Maine and 20 in New Hampshire. The company notified consumers of the breach on April 25, 2025, using a substitute notice method.

Redbrick LMD reported the breach to the Maine Attorney General's office, the Massachusetts Attorney General's office, the Vermont Attorney General's office, and the New Hampshire Attorney General's office.

The breach is considered severe due to the nature of the information exposed. Social Security Numbers and Account Numbers are prime targets for identity theft and financial fraud. The incident appears to have been the result of an external cyberattack, with unauthorized actors gaining access to and extracting files from Redbrick LMD’s network.
