Karl Malone Auto Group Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent KMAM Management LLC d/b/a Karl Malone Auto Group data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Karl Malone Auto Group, which may have affected individuals, potentially exposing sensitive personal identifiable information.

What Happened?

A recent report from the New Hampshire Attorney General's office states that the Karl Malone Auto Group data breach occurred due to a cyber security incident. What's particularly concerning about this case is the significant delay between the security incident and its discovery.

According to the filed notice, the initial network security incident occurred on August 8, 2024. However, Karl Malone Auto Group did not discover that sensitive information had been compromised until February 20, 2025 – more than six months after the initial breach. This extended period of undetected unauthorized access raises serious questions about the company's security monitoring capabilities.

After discovering the breach, KMAM Management LLC engaged external cybersecurity specialists to investigate the incident thoroughly. Their investigation confirmed that certain files on the company's systems were accessed without authorization, potentially including files containing confidential consumer information.

While the public filing with the New Hampshire Attorney General's office does not specify exactly what types of data were exposed, personalized data breach notification letters were sent out by Karl Malone Auto Group on March 31, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and specifically which categories of their personal data were compromised.
