The breach occurred on June 14, 2009, when unauthorized access to the Cobra website allowed potential access to cardholder data affecting approximately 31 New Hampshire residents. Cobra later decided to notify around 9,000 customers potentially impacted by the breach, offering a year of free credit monitoring through Equifax.
