Oak View Group (“OVG”), which manages venues and works with contractors and vendors, disclosed a cybersecurity incident involving unauthorized access to its legacy systems. The breach was discovered on January 19, 2026, and impacted certain personal information collected from contractors or vendors.
OVG discovered on January 19, 2026, that a third party had gained unauthorized access to a subset of its legacy systems. Investigators determined that the unauthorized actor initially accessed the systems on December 16, 2025, and used that access to remove certain files from OVG’s network.
Upon discovery, OVG launched a full investigation, engaging leading cybersecurity experts. The company confirmed that the impacted personal information was limited to names and tax identification numbers. There is no evidence that any of the data has been misused or posted for sale on the dark web.
As part of its response, OVG took the affected systems offline, implemented enhanced security safeguards, and rebuilt the environment with updated security measures. Affected individuals were offered two years of complimentary credit monitoring and identity restoration services through Cyberscout, a TransUnion company.
Unauthorized access began on December 16, 2025, and continued until it was discovered on January 19, 2026. Notifications to affected individuals were issued following the investigation and remediation efforts.
