Apollo Global Management Inc. says hackers gain unauthorized access to parts of its systems in July, following what it describes as a social engineering incident. The company reports that the attack results in access to personal information, and it is disclosing the breach as part of an investigation it conducted afterward.
According to the company’s disclosures summarized by outlets, the unauthorized access involves some cloud platforms and occurs during a specific window in early July, from July 6 through July 10. Information potentially affected includes personal data, though details are not fully consistent across reporting. The breach disclosure comes amid broader reports of attempted or successful cyberattacks targeting major hedge funds in recent weeks, a context Bloomberg highlights.
While outlets use similar language about the social engineering basis of the incident and the July timing, they differ mainly in emphasis—Bloomberg focuses on the wider trend of hedge fund cyber incidents, while PYMNTS emphasizes the investigation timeline and the nature of the cloud access.
