Financial management company Hightower Holding disclosed a cyberattack that compromised personal data of 131,483 individuals in early January 2026. Hackers infiltrated the company's systems between January 8-9 using stolen user credentials, accessing files containing names, Social Security numbers, and driver's license numbers.

The parent company of Hightower Advisors provides wealth management and retirement planning services through multiple subsidiaries. While Hightower says there's no evidence the stolen information has been used for identity theft or fraud, they're offering affected customers 12 months of free credit monitoring.

The company hasn't identified which cybercriminal group was responsible for the attack.
