Kings Tax Service, a firm specializing in financial and tax preparation for individuals and small businesses across Massachusetts, has reported a significant cybersecurity incident. The company filed notice of the breach on April 30, 2026, indicating that an investigation into the scope and impact of the event is currently underway.
Given the nature of the services provided by Kings Tax Service, the information they handle is deeply personal and confidential. The breach means that this sensitive personal information entrusted to the company may now be in the hands of unauthorized parties.

Under Massachusetts law, companies that collect and store personal information have a clear legal obligation to implement robust security measures to protect that data.
