The Brief

  • The Baker Tilly Advisory Group is notifying clients that a data breach compromised certain personal information about them and their dependents.
  • The breach occurred at a third-party provider, according to BleepingComputer's report dated 2026-11-12.
  • The sources provided do not give details on the attacker, the number of affected people, or remediation.

Why it matters

Organisations that outsource data handling to third-party providers inherit those providers' security risk, and clients may need to watch for misuse of their personal data.
