Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann, P.C. is investigating a data breach involving Kaplan North America LLC, an international education services provider, that may have exposed sensitive personal information of customers.
Kaplan recently disclosed that it experienced a cybersecurity incident in which an unauthorized party gained access to certain internal systems. According to available information, the intrusion occurred over a period of time between October 30, 2025 and November 18, 2025.
Although the breach took place in late 2025, affected individuals were not notified until March 17, 2026, raising concerns about the delay in disclosure.
The company has indicated that certain customer information may have been accessed or acquired during the incident.
The information involved in this breach may include highly sensitive personal data such as names, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license numbers.
This type of information can be used by cybercriminals to commit identity theft, open fraudulent accounts, or engage in other forms of financial fraud.
When Social Security numbers and government-issued identification are exposed, the risks can be long-lasting. Individuals may face threats such as fraudulent tax filings, unauthorized credit activity, and identity misuse.
Even in cases where there is no confirmed misuse, the exposure of this information can create ongoing concerns and require continued monitoring.
If you received a notification from Kaplan regarding this data breach, it is important to take steps to protect your personal information. Monitoring your credit reports, reviewing financial accounts, and remaining alert to suspicious activity can help reduce potential harm.
You may also consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with the major credit bureaus.
Organizations that collect and store sensitive personal information have a duty to protect that data. When that responsibility is not met, individuals may have legal rights.
Pittman, Dutton, Hellums, Bradley & Mann, P.C. is actively investigating the Kaplan data breach and evaluating potential claims on behalf of affected individuals.
