About This Breach
After a forensic investigation and document review with outside cybersecurity specialists, the company determined on April 21, 2026 that specific files containing personal information may have been accessed or acquired.
Texas Attorney General record BR-0005058 reports that 22,822 people were affected across the United States. The 1,652 Texas residents in that record and figures disclosed by other states are subsets of the nationwide total.
What Happened in the Barnhart Crane & Rigging Breach?
An official filing with the New Hampshire Department of Justice confirms that Barnhart detected unauthorized access around April 23, 2025 and that the activity continued through April 24. The review found that files containing personal information may have been accessed by an unauthorized party. The public documents do not identify the initial-access method or the actor.
Barnhart conducted a forensic investigation and document review to establish the scope. Notices to affected people began around May 21, 2026.
What Information May Have Been Affected?
The information varied by person and may have included names, addresses, dates of birth, Social security numbers, driver's-license numbers, government identification such as passport or state ID numbers, financial-account information, medical information, and health-insurance information.
When combined, these fields can increase the risk of identity theft, fraudulent account opening, financial fraud, and medical-identity misuse. Not every listed field should be assumed to apply to every affected person.
How Many People Were Affected?
The Texas Attorney General gives a nationwide total of 22,822 people, including 1,652 Texas residents. The New Hampshire filing identifies 21 potentially affected state residents. State figures have not been added again to the nationwide total.
What Should Affected People Do?
Barnhart offered complimentary credit monitoring to people whose Social Security number was involved. Notice recipients should regularly review credit reports, financial accounts, and health-insurance statements for unfamiliar transactions or services.
If a Social Security number or government ID was involved, a credit freeze and fraud alert may be appropriate. Personal information, passwords, and verification codes should not be shared in unexpected emails, calls, or messages.
