    Detailed summary

    Fourteen Foods, a franchise operator headquartered in Franklin, Tennessee, experienced a network security incident between February 19 and February 25, 2026. An unauthorized third party accessed its internal systems and copied sensitive files. Following an investigation, the company completed its file review on September 10, 2026, and submitted formal notifications to regulators, including the New Hampshire Attorney General, on October 22, 2026.

    The compromised records included personal details such as individuals' full names and Social Security numbers. The company has not publicly confirmed the total number of individuals impacted by the event. There is no indication that clinical medical records or financial account credentials were compromised.

    Notices were mailed to affected individuals beginning in late October 2026. Because notifications and regulatory disclosures often continue to be processed after an initial filing, additional details concerning the scope of the incident may emerge.
