DENVILLE, New Jersey. Confidential consumer information somehow escaped the New Jersey law offices of Collections Lawyers Pellegrino & Feldstein, and ended up posted on several websites. The Liberty Coalition discovered cached versions of an Excel file that contained the full names, social security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, account numbers, and financial information of more than 530 individuals who had interactions with Pellegrino & Feldstein in approximately 2004-2005. It also includes notes about highly private subjects, including medical conditions and employment information. The list, named “newportfolio.xls,” was posted on a number of websites, including rjrsolutions.com, cliftonrealtor.com, vdiiorio.com, cliftonrealestate.com, and anthonyc21.com on or before October 8, 2007. Although it was deleted prior to December 6, 2007, copies remained in at least two search engine caches as late as February, 2008.
All but 10 of the individuals affected by this exposure live in New Jersey. The Liberty Coalition contacted several of the victims and their attorneys, and found that the list originated from LT Asset Recovery, LLC, who in turn hired Pellegrino & Feldstein.
By allowing the personal information of these individuals to leak from their internal databases, Pellegrino & Feldstein has put these individuals at extreme risk of financial, criminal, and medical identity theft.
Individuals affected by this exposure should immediately visit www.ssnbreach.org and search for their names, to confirm what types of personal information were exposed.
