Apollo Global reveals data breach after hackers target financial firms

Apollo Global Management disclosed that it suffered a data breach last month after hackers gained unauthorized access to certain cloud platforms between July 6 and July 10, according to a letter published Friday. The New York-based asset manager said the potentially affected information includes names, dates of birth, contact details, home addresses, and Social Security numbers. Apollo notified law enforcement and hired outside cybersecurity and forensic experts, and its investigation remains ongoing. The company said it has not found evidence that stolen data has been publicly posted or used for identity theft or fraud. The disclosure comes as Reuters reported similar ransom-driven attacks targeting U.S. financial institutions and other firms.
