Apollo Asset Management, Inc., headquartered in New York, New York, has reported a data breach that exposed sensitive personal information. This page summarizes what is publicly known from the Texas Attorney General’s breach report.
Apollo Asset Management, Inc.’s Data Breach Investigation
Apollo Asset Management, Inc. is a New York-based asset management company with offices at 9 West 57th Street in Manhattan. On October 28, 2026, the Texas Attorney General’s Office published the company’s data security breach report. The report states that 1,543 Texans were affected and that notice was provided to consumers by U.S. Mail and email.
The Texas report lists the types of information involved: names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, other government-issued ID numbers and dates of birth. This is the type of information that identity thieves value because it can be used together to pass identity checks at banks, lenders and government agencies. The report does not describe the cause of the incident, how it was discovered, or the dates on which unauthorized access took place.
The figure of 1,543 applies only to Texas residents. Companies with customers, investors or employees in many states report to each state separately, and the national total can be much larger than any single state’s number. The total number of people affected has not been confirmed here.
News outlets reported in August 2026 that Apollo-related entities had disclosed a social engineering incident in which unauthorized access to certain cloud platforms occurred between July 6 and July 10, 2026, and that identity protection was offered to people whose information was involved. The Texas report does not say whether the filing it lists relates to that earlier disclosure, so the two should not be assumed to be the same event. This page relies only on what the Texas report itself states.
Asset managers and the firms around them hold investor records, employee files and onboarding documents that often combine a Social Security number, a date of birth, a home address and government identification. Exposure of this combination can support fraudulent account applications, tax-refund fraud, and convincing impersonation of the affected person in calls to a bank or brokerage. Because a Social Security number and a date of birth do not change, the risk of misuse can last for years, so a credit freeze and regular monitoring are often recommended after notices like this.
State breach laws generally require a company to notify affected people without unreasonable delay and, above certain thresholds, to notify the state attorney general. Attorneys are looking into whether Apollo Asset Management, Inc. took reasonable steps to protect the information it held and whether its notice met the standards that apply.
When Did This Breach Occur?
The Texas report gives the date it was published, October 28, 2026, but does not state the date of the incident or the date the company discovered it. Apollo Asset Management, Inc. has not published a timeline in this filing showing when unauthorized access began, was detected or ended, so the timing of the underlying event should be treated as unknown for now.
What Information Was Breached?
The Texas report lists names, addresses, Social Security numbers, driver’s license numbers, other government-issued ID numbers and dates of birth. It does not list financial account numbers, payment card numbers or medical information. Not every person will have had every category involved, so your notice letter is the best guide to what applies to you.
What You Can Do
If you received a notice related to Apollo Asset Management, Inc. or believe you may be affected, consider these steps:
- Read the notice carefully and keep it, along with any enrollment details for protection services it offers.
- Because Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers were listed, consider a credit freeze rather than only a fraud alert, and ask your state motor vehicle agency whether it offers extra protection for a compromised license number.
- Place a free fraud alert or a credit freeze with Equifax, Experian and TransUnion, and get your reports free at annualcreditreport.com.
- Review bank, card and insurance statements for anything you do not recognize.
- Be skeptical of unexpected calls, texts or emails that mention the incident, and report suspected identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission at identitytheft.gov.
