Bimbo Bakeries USA data breach

Clerk's notes

Bimbo Bakeries USA formally notified the Vermont Attorney General on September 4, 2026, about a data security incident. This regulatory filing indicates that personal information entrusted to the company may have been compromised through unauthorized access to its digital network. The investigation into this event is currently listed as "monitoring" by authorities.

The types of sensitive personal data reportedly exposed in this breach include Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Mailing Address, Wage and Compensation Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Tax Return Information, and Phone Number.
