Apollo Global Management confirmed a data breach involving unauthorized access to its cloud platforms between July 6 and July 10, 2026. The intrusion was executed through social engineering and phishing tactics, including the use of deceptive websites and phone-based deception to obtain employee credentials.

The breach compromised sensitive personal information, such as names, dates of birth, home addresses, contact information, and Social Security numbers. The firm stated that no proprietary business information or financial account details were compromised, and it has not yet found evidence that the stolen data has been used for fraud.

In response, Apollo has notified law enforcement, engaged forensic experts, and enhanced its security protocols. The company is offering 24 months of complimentary credit monitoring and identity protection to those affected. This incident is part of a broader trend of social engineering attacks targeting the financial sector.
