Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC was the subject of a data breach notification filed with the NH Attorney General. The AG filing was recorded on October 24, 2025.
From the AG filing description
Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC operates as a premier enterprise deeply embedded in the high-end collector car market, known globally for producing world-class automotive lifestyle events and collector car auctions. Because of the sophisticated nature of their operations, the company routinely collects and maintains extensive, highly sensitive personal and financial data from elite clientele, consignors, bidders, and employees. This repository of information includes not only standard contact details but also high-value financial account information, banking data, government-issued identification required for high-stakes transactions, and comprehensive employee or contractor payroll records. The sheer volume of wealth-related data and proprietary corporate information makes Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC a prime target for malicious cyber actors seeking to exploit high-net-worth targets and corporate infrastructure alike. In 2025, Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC reported a significant data security incident to the New Hampshire Attorney General, alerting consumers and regulatory bodies to an unauthorized compromise of its network systems. Incidents affecting organizations of this scale typically involve sophisticated cyberattacks such as targeted ransomware deployments, unauthorized entry into centralized enterprise databases, or compromised third-party vendor conduits. Threat actors frequently exploit vulnerabilities in digital architecture to bypass perimeter security, lingering undetected within corporate networks to exfiltrate vast quantities of confidential data before encryption or public detection occurs. The exposure resulting from the Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC data breach compromises critical categories of personal information, directly endangering the financial and personal security of affected individuals. Exposed data types frequently include Full Names, Social Security Numbers, Dates of Birth, detailed Financial Account and Routing Numbers, and sensitive transaction or employment records. When malicious actors obtain Social Security numbers alongside banking and identification details, victims face an immediate and severe risk of identity theft, fraudulent credit applications, unauthorized wire transfers, and targeted financial fraud that can take years to remediate. Under state data protection statutes, the New Hampshire Consumer Protection Act, and overarching common-law negligence principles, Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC maintained a stringent legal duty to implement and maintain robust, industry-standard cybersecurity measures to protect private data. This responsibility includes conducting regular vulnerability assessments, maintaining secure encryption protocols, and properly vetting third-party software vendors. The occurrence of a successful network breach and subsequent data exfiltration strongly indicates a failure in these vital security obligations, potentially exposing the organization to legal liability for negligence and failure to safeguard sensitive consumer and employee information. Receiving an official data breach notification letter from Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC serves as formal acknowledgment that your private information was compromised due to corporate security failures, and it establishes the legal standing necessary to participate in a class action lawsuit. Affected individuals are not required to demonstrate actual financial loss or identity theft to seek legal recourse; the mere exposure of your confidential data constitutes a concrete injury under the law. Our firm is actively investigating this breach and evaluates potential claims on a contingency fee basis, meaning you pay nothing out of pocket and owe no legal fees unless we successfully recover compensation on your behalf.
Under the New Hampshire data breach notification law, you may have a legal claim against Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC if any of the following apply:
Based on the data types reported in this filing:
Your SSN is the master key to your identity. Once exposed, criminals can open new lines of credit, take out loans, or file taxes in your name.
Combined with a name and other leaked data, date of birth helps criminals pass identity verification questions at banks and government agencies.
Common categories of compensation in data breach class actions
Courts recognize that the time spent monitoring accounts, placing credit freezes, and dealing with the aftermath of a breach has real economic value. This category of damages is recoverable even without direct financial loss.
Professional credit monitoring services cost $10–$40 per month. Identity theft restoration services, if needed, can cost hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars. Courts have awarded these costs as direct damages in SSN breach cases.
Direct financial losses resulting from the breach — unauthorized charges, fraudulent transfers, or fees incurred through fraud — are recoverable as compensatory damages. Banks may reverse some charges; a class action recovers the remainder and associated costs.
Data breach victims regularly report anxiety, loss of sleep, and ongoing fear of identity theft. These non-economic harms are cognizable injuries in data breach litigation, particularly in cases involving SSN or medical record exposure.
Note: an attorney general breach filing does not by itself establish a settlement fund, a payment amount, or a claim deadline. If an official settlement notice is later issued, rely on that notice for payment details and deadlines.
No. Under New Hampshire data breach notification law and federal law, the unauthorized exposure of your personal data — regardless of whether it has been actively misused — can be sufficient grounds for a claim. The breach itself is the injury.
Nothing. The Law Office of David S. Harris handles data breach cases on contingency — you pay zero upfront and owe nothing unless compensation is recovered.
Immediately place a free credit freeze at all three bureaus (Equifax, Experian, TransUnion). A freeze blocks new accounts from being opened in your name. Then file a complaint with the FTC at IdentityTheft.gov and contact our office — SSN exposure is one of the most serious breach types.
Banks may reverse fraudulent charges, but they are not obligated to compensate you for time lost, stress, or indirect damages. A class action claim against the breached company can recover those additional categories of harm.
Statutes of limitations for data breach claims vary by state but typically run 2–4 years. Depending on when you learned of the breach, you may still have time. Contact our office for a free eligibility review — there is no cost to find out.
Accepting free credit monitoring from Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC does not waive your right to pursue legal action unless you signed a specific release waiving claims. In most cases, victims who accepted monitoring can still file.
Not necessarily. Many data breach victims are never notified directly. If your personal information was held by Barrett-Jackson Holdings, LLC during the relevant period, you may still qualify even without receiving a letter. A free eligibility review can confirm your status.
