This breach was reported to authorities on April 30, 2026, and is currently under investigation to understand its full scope. If you are a client, this incident may have compromised personal information entrusted to the company.
Given that Kings Tax Service handles deeply sensitive client filings, any compromise of its systems is a serious concern.
