Apollo discloses data breach
Apollo Global Management has disclosed a data breach after hackers gained unauthorised access to some of the asset manager's cloud systems and obtained personal information, according to a report by Reuters.
Apollo Global Management has announced a data breach following unauthorized access to some of its cloud systems, according to Reuters. The breach occurred between July 6 and July 10, with the New York-based private markets firm notifying law enforcement and engaging external cybersecurity and forensic specialists to investigate.
The compromised information included names, dates of birth, contact details, home addresses, and Social Security numbers. The company discovered the breach earlier this month and reported it has not found evidence that the compromised data has been published or used for identity theft or fraud. Apollo is currently in the ongoing investigation process, and no alternative measures have been taken to protect affected individuals.
To assist those impacted, Apollo is offering free identity-protection and credit-monitoring services provided by a third-party provider, as stated by Matthew Breitfelder, Apollo's global head of human capital.
