Briefings
A EY suffered a data breach affecting clients of Goldman Sachs and Man Group between March and April 2026, triggered by a vulnerability in Checkmar's software. Unauthorized access allowed third parties to view personal financial and tax information for over 100 clients. The EY confirmed the incident was not operational and completed an analysis by July 2026, with the breach reported to four US regulators. Goldman and Man Group confirmed their systems were secure, though the specific number of affected clients remains unspecified.
