What happened
Bloom's Bus Lines, Inc. ("Bloom's Bus"), a family-owned charter and school bus operator headquartered at 28 Grosvenor Street in Taunton, Massachusetts, disclosed that it experienced a data security incident affecting personal information in its possession. The company's consumer notice states that unauthorized activity involved information belonging to individuals connected to the company, and that Bloom's Bus takes the privacy and security of that information seriously. The notice states that the company has no evidence of the misuse or attempted misuse of any potentially impacted information.
The incident was reported to the Massachusetts Attorney General in August 2026, and the filing lists 1,411 Massachusetts residents. The regulator filing identifies the data involved as Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers. Bloom's Bus is offering 24 months of complimentary identity monitoring through Kroll, including credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity theft restoration, with enrollment available at enroll.krollmonitoring.com using the membership number printed on each letter. Kroll's dedicated assistance line is 1-844-958-8960, staffed Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Central Time. The publicly filed copy of the consumer letter does not state when the unauthorized activity began, when it was detected, the cause of the incident, or the enrollment deadline for the Kroll services.
Because Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers can be used to open fraudulent credit accounts, file false tax returns, and commit other forms of identity theft, the categories of data reportedly involved raise heightened concerns. School bus and charter operators commonly hold driver licensing records, background check files, and payroll data for their workforce, which means the information at issue may be unusually complete for some individuals. Whether Bloom's Bus Lines maintained reasonable data security practices before the incident, and how long the unauthorized activity went undetected, are among the issues being evaluated.
What to do if you received a letter
Keep your notice letter
Do not discard it. Your letter contains the Kroll membership number needed to activate your free identity monitoring and is important evidence if you decide to participate in a lawsuit.
Enroll in the free 24-month Kroll identity monitoring
Enroll at enroll.krollmonitoring.com using the membership number printed on your notice, or call Kroll at 1-844-958-8960 for assistance. Your letter states an activation deadline, so review it and enroll before that date. Accepting this benefit does not waive your right to pursue legal action.
Place a fraud alert or credit freeze
Contact Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion to place a fraud alert or freeze on your file. Request a free weekly credit report from AnnualCreditReport.com, and use the FTC's IdentityTheft.gov recovery guide. Because Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers were reportedly involved, you should also place a fraud alert or security freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, watch for unfamiliar tax filings or unemployment claims under your Social Security number, and consider notifying your state's motor vehicle agency about the potential misuse of your driver's license number.

Common questions
I received a data breach letter from Bloom's Bus Lines. What should I do? +
Keep the letter, activate the free 24-month Kroll identity monitoring using the membership number printed on your notice at enroll.krollmonitoring.com or by calling 1-844-958-8960, place a fraud alert or security freeze with Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion, request your free annual credit reports at annualcreditreport.com or 1-877-322-8228, watch for unfamiliar tax filings or unemployment claims under your Social Security number, and contact a data breach attorney for a free consultation. Accepting credit monitoring does not waive your right to sue.
Am I eligible to join a class action against Bloom's Bus Lines? +
If you received an August 2026 data breach notice from Bloom's Bus Lines, you are likely eligible for a free case evaluation. Eligibility depends on your state of residence, the categories of your data that were involved, and any losses you have suffered. Dapeer Law will review your notice at no cost.
How much money could I receive from a class action lawsuit? +
Data breach class action recoveries vary significantly. Settlements typically range from a few hundred dollars for basic out-of-pocket losses to several thousand dollars for documented identity theft, with class size, damages, and negotiation all affecting the final amount. No payout is guaranteed, and this investigation has not yet resulted in a settlement.
What personal information was exposed in the breach? +
The filing with the Massachusetts Attorney General identifies the data involved as Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers. The publicly filed consumer letter does not itemize the data elements, so your individual notice should be reviewed to confirm what was identified for you. Social Security numbers and driver's license numbers can be used to open fraudulent credit accounts, file false tax returns, and commit other forms of identity theft.
Did Bloom's Bus Lines offer free credit monitoring? +
Yes. Bloom's Bus Lines is offering 24 months of complimentary identity monitoring through Kroll, including credit monitoring, fraud consultation, and identity theft restoration. Enrollment is at enroll.krollmonitoring.com using the membership number printed on your letter, and Kroll's assistance line is 1-844-958-8960. The activation deadline is stated on each individual letter rather than in the public filing, so review yours and enroll promptly. Enrollment is separate from, and does not waive, your right to pursue a claim.
How many people were affected by the Bloom's Bus Lines breach? +
The filing with the Massachusetts Attorney General lists 1,411 Massachusetts residents. Bloom's Bus Lines has not publicly disclosed a nationwide total, and residents of other states may also have received notices. This page will be updated as additional information becomes available.
Is there a deadline to take legal action? +
Yes. Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state and legal theory, typically ranging from one to six years. Waiting can permanently bar your claim. Contact us as soon as possible for a free evaluation.
