  "account": "Private equity powerhouse Apollo disclosed on July 2026 that a cyberattack, facilitated through social engineering, resulted in the theft of personal data from its cloud infrastructure. The stolen information comprised names, dates of birth, contact details, addresses, and Social Security numbers. The company promptly notified California's Attorney General's Office and is presently extending two years of identity theft protection and monitoring to those impacted, through Cyberscout. As of now, there is no evidence that the stolen data has been posted on the dark web or that the breach has been claimed by cybercriminals.",
  "summary": "We don't know how many people are affected, or if they're employees or customers.",
