What happened at FullBeauty Brands?

The letter calls it a cybersecurity incident that affected portions of the company's internal computer network on October 22, 2025. FullBeauty says it moved to secure its network at once and opened an investigation with outside cybersecurity partners. The letter does not say how the intruder got in, whether ransomware was used, or whether a ransom was demanded.

The dates in the letter are unusual. The access window runs from October 18 to November 19, 2025, so it ends four weeks after the company found the incident. It also ends five days after the file review found employee data, on November 14. The letter does not explain the overlap.

Who got a letter from FullBeauty Brands?

Employees. The letter opens by saying FullBeauty recognizes the importance of protecting information entrusted to it by its employees. The files found to hold personal data were employment-related. Nothing in the letter says customer or shopper data was involved, and the Massachusetts record marks no card numbers or financial accounts. Whether former employees were included is not stated.

What information was exposed?

It varies by person, but the letter lists name, Social Security number and health plan enrollment information. Massachusetts marks Social Security numbers only.
