Pathstone Family Office allegedly breached by ShinyHunters

Cybernews reports that Pathstone Family Office, a wealth management firm that caters to the elite, was claimed to have been compromised by the ShinyHunters cyber extortion group.

In a post on the group's dark web leak site, ShinyHunters alleged that it exfiltrated 641,000 records containing personally identifiable information and internal corporate documents. Pathstone was given until March 2 to respond before the data would reportedly be made public. No sample data has been released to substantiate the claim, and Pathstone has not confirmed that a breach occurred. The firm serves more than 750 families and oversees roughly $170 billion in assets.

If confirmed, the alleged breach could expose legal paperwork, estate planning details, sensitive financial structures, and client contracts, creating risks such as fraud, impersonation, intellectual property exposure, and reputational damage. ShinyHunters has recently targeted Beacon Pointe Advisors and Mercer Advisors, later publishing what it claimed was stolen data. It has also been linked to past incidents involving Waltio, Salesforce CRM, Crunchbase, and Bumble.
