What happened in the Hightower Holdings data breach?

According to public reporting based on state breach disclosures, an unauthorized party gained access to Hightower’s systems through a compromised user account, and certain files were downloaded without authorization between January 8-9, 2026.

Additional reporting states that a second security incident was later identified, involving another compromised account and another unauthorized download window between January 19-20, 2026.

Public reports on the breach state that the compromised information included names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license information, and financial account information.

Hightower began issuing consumer data breach notices dated March 23, 2026.

Because the reported data types include both government-issued identifiers and financial information, this breach may be especially significant for people who entrusted Hightower with confidential personal and financial records. Our experienced data breach legal team will work to determine if adequate safeguards were in place, and whether affected individuals may be entitled to pursue compensation for this security failure.
