Bath Fitter Distributing Data Breach Investigation
According to Bath Fitter’s data breach notification, the company experienced a cybersecurity incident caused by a ransomware attack between December 4 and December 5, 2024. The attack occurred after a threat actor allegedly impersonated a Bath Fitter IT support technician and gained access to the company’s network.

The company reported that approximately 49 New Hampshire residents were affected by the incident. Bath Fitter is providing formal notification to impacted current and former employees after completing its review.
