2026 Unknown records affected Share on X

Data compromised

Per notice summaries: names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and passport numbers for affected employees and consultants. The Massachusetts count is 42, and the total has not been published. The company reportedly offers 24 months of Experian IdentityWorks monitoring.

Technical writeup

The company notice and the state filing were not located, so this row relies on notice summaries. It is not the UK broadcaster BBC, which has its own rows.

Root cause

Notices reportedly went to current and former employees and consultants starting October 6, 2026. They say unauthorized access reached personnel files and employment records. The company has not given dates for when the incident occurred or was discovered. A Massachusetts filing dated October 9, 2026 is reported, but sources disagree on whether it went to the Attorney General or the state consumer affairs regulator (OCABR). Aggregators also report 11 Rhode Island residents.
