What Happened?

A recent report from the Massachusetts Attorney General's office states that The Partners Group data breach occurred due to unauthorized access to a company email account.

The investigation revealed that names and Social Security numbers were among the sensitive data that may have been accessed. Data breach letters were sent out by The Partners Group on January 30, 2025, informing affected individuals about the nature of the incident and compromised data.
