Breach American Lending Center data breach impacts over 123,000 individuals May 15, 2026 Share By SC Staff (Adobe Stock) American Lending Center revealed that a data breach discovered last year has impacted more than 123,000 individuals. The California-based non-bank lender, which specializes in government-guaranteed small business loans, is notifying affected individuals that personal information may have been stolen in a ransomware attack detected in July 2025, according to a recent report by Security Week. The breach involved a ransomware attack where threat actors compromised the internal network and accessed files containing personal identifying information. This potentially includes names, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers for over 123,000 individuals. A forensic investigation completed on April 8 found no evidence of misuse of the compromised data. It is unclear which ransomware group, if any, is responsible for the attack, as no known group has claimed responsibility.
