American Lending Center Data Breach Affects 123,000 Individuals

American Lending Center, a California-based non-bank lender managing three billion dollars in small business loans, has disclosed a ransomware attack that compromised the personal information of over 123,000 individuals. The breach, detected in July 2025, potentially exposed names, dates of birth, and social security numbers, though the company says its investigation found no evidence of data misuse. Notably, no known ransomware group has claimed responsibility for the attack, which could suggest either a ransom payment was made or the attackers operate without a public leak site.
