What happened in the JM Bozeman data breach
JM Bozeman, a business located in Malvern, Arkansas, says it became aware of suspicious activity within its network earlier this year. According to its notice letter, an investigation determined that an unauthorized actor gained access to the company's network between January 6, 2026 and February 28, 2026 and copied certain files. The company says it notified federal law enforcement.
JM Bozeman says its review of the potentially impacted files was completed on July 6, 2026. At that time it determined that personal information was in those files. The sample notice letter is dated October 7, 2026. The company's notice to the New Hampshire Attorney General says it provided written notice to one New Hampshire resident on October 7, 2026, about three months after the review was completed. The company is offering 12 months of credit monitoring through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company, at no cost.
The sample letter attached to the New Hampshire filing says the information potentially impacted includes "your name", and the rest of that list is blank in the posted copy. The New Hampshire filing says the information that could have been subject to unauthorized access for the New Hampshire resident includes name, Social Security number, driver's license number, and financial account information. The Texas filing lists names, Social Security numbers, driver's license numbers, government-issued ID numbers, financial information, medical information and health insurance information. JM Bozeman reported 3,211 affected individuals to the Texas Attorney General, including 602 Texans, in a report posted by the Texas Attorney General on October 12, 2026.
