Dot Foods, Inc., a major food industry redistributor, formally disclosed a data security incident to the Montana Attorney General's office on January 7, 2026. This breach, which occurred on December 3, 2024, has potentially compromised the personal information of individuals who entrusted their data to the company.
The exposed data is reported to include highly sensitive categories such as Full Name, Social Security Number, Date of Birth, Wage and Compensation Information, Tax Return Information, Direct Deposit Account Details, Mailing Address, and Phone Number.
