Oregon's Department of Justice records 570,000 people for AssetMark, with the breach and its discovery both on May 15, 2026 and notice on June 11, 2026, 27 days later. No other record checked here gives a total.

Was my financial advisor involved in the AssetMark breach?

No, according to AssetMark. Its letter says the incident was isolated to AssetMark and not related to the reader's financial advisor.

What happened at AssetMark?

AssetMark says it found suspicious activity tied to certain employee login credentials. It ended the unauthorized access, reset employee credentials, brought in forensic investigators, increased monitoring and added safeguards. On or around May 18, 2026, it found that the files held customers' personal information.

What information was involved?

The letter fills in each reader's items, and says Massachusetts law keeps it from giving more detail about the incident. Texas lists names and Social Security numbers. Massachusetts marks Social Security numbers and financial accounts as breached, and medical records, driver's licenses and payment cards as not.
