What happened
On August 4, 2026, Pocket Entertainment Corp., which operates the digital entertainment service known as Pocket FM, reported to the Massachusetts Attorney General that an unauthorized party had accessed systems containing sensitive customer data. The company disclosed the incident in formal notification letters sent to affected individuals. The filing is on record with the Massachusetts Attorney General as No. 2026-1282.
According to the notice, the information involved included Social Security numbers and credit or debit card numbers. Pocket FM is offering complimentary identity protection through IDX, including 24 months of credit monitoring, CyberScan dark web monitoring, a $1,000,000 identity theft insurance reimbursement policy, and fully managed identity theft recovery support. Recipients are directed to enroll online or by calling 1-888-204-2893 within 90 days of the date on their letter. The filing does not state when the unauthorized access occurred, when it was discovered, or what caused it, and those details remain under review.
Because Social Security numbers and payment card numbers were reported to be involved, notice recipients may face both immediate fraud risk and a longer-term risk of identity theft. Payment card numbers can be used for unauthorized charges within days, while a Social Security number does not expire and can be used to open credit years after a breach.
What to do if you received a letter

Keep your breach letter, then enroll in the free IDX identity protection services within 90 days of the date on the letter, either online at app.idx.us/account-creation/protect or by calling 1-888-204-2893.
