Brandt Reports Data Breach Affecting Sensitive Personal Information
Brandt, a New Hampshire-based organization, disclosed a data breach to the state’s Attorney General after detecting unusual network activity. An investigation revealed that an unauthorized third party accessed and potentially acquired sensitive personal data during two separate periods: November 8–12, 2025, and November 20–22, 2025.
The exposed information varies by individual but may include names and Social Security numbers. Brandt completed a review to identify affected parties and began mailing breach notification letters on March 17, 2026. As part of its response, the company is offering 12 months of complimentary credit monitoring to impacted individuals.
The breach notice, filed with the New Hampshire Attorney General, provides further details on the incident.
