Mortgage Investors Group’s Data Breach Investigation

Mortgage Investors Group (MIG) detected unusual activity within its computer network on December 11, 2024, prompting an immediate response. The company quickly disconnected all access to its network and engaged a third-party cybersecurity firm to secure its systems. The investigation revealed that only specific MIG files had been accessed by the unauthorized intruder, who was cut off from the system as soon as the breach was detected.

To further understand the extent of the incident, MIG enlisted the help of a third-party data mining vendor. This vendor was responsible for identifying the affected individuals and determining the types of sensitive information that may have been exposed. The investigation took some time due to the complexity of the data involved.

MIG has confirmed that while the breach was serious, there is currently no evidence of actual or attempted misuse of the compromised information. However, as a precautionary measure, MIG has been proactive in notifying those affected and offering support through identity monitoring services.

When Did This Breach Occur?

The data security incident occurred between December 11 and 12, 2024. MIG responded quickly to isolate and secure the network, and an investigation was promptly launched to assess the breach’s impact.

What Information Was Breached?

The exact details of the personal information exposed varied by individual, but based on the company’s investigation, the following types of data may have been involved:

  • Personal identification information (names, addresses)

  • Sensitive financial data (loan details, payment histories)

  • Social Security numbers (for some individuals)

  • Contact information (phone numbers, email addresses)

The exact scope of the exposure depends on the nature of each individual’s relationship with MIG, and the company has continued to refine its understanding of the breach’s impact.
