What happened in the Allied Machine & Engineering data breach
According to the sample notice letter filed with the New Hampshire Attorney General, Allied Machine & Engineering Corp. experienced unusual activity involving its network systems on September 14, 2026, and started an investigation using independent experts. The company later learned that some data could have been accessed or acquired without authorization in connection with the activity. The company then worked to determine what information was potentially involved and gathered contact information needed to provide notice, a process the letter says concluded on September 29, 2026.
The company's counsel told the New Hampshire Attorney General that it notified one New Hampshire resident on October 22, 2026, via USPS First-Class Mail. The letter says the potentially involved information may have included names and Social Security numbers, and the New Hampshire filing lists the same categories: names and Social Security numbers. Allied Machine & Engineering reported 567 affected individuals to the Indiana Attorney General, including 4 Indiana residents, with notices sent October 22, 2026, according to the Indiana Attorney General. The letter offers identity monitoring through Kroll, including single bureau credit monitoring; the number of months is a placeholder in the posted sample letter.
Whether the company's security practices before the incident met legal standards is among the issues being evaluated.
