Kaplan North America Data Breach

The investigation found that an unauthorized person accessed Kaplan's computer servers between October 30 and November 18, 2025, and took certain files. The company secured its network, began an investigation with external IT security specialists, and alerted law enforcement. The file review identified the affected personal information on February 21, 2026; notifications were sent on March 17, 2026.

The information varied by person. The official notice says the affected files contained names together with Social Security numbers and/or driver's license numbers. It does not state that both identification numbers applied to every affected person.

Kaplan secured its network, investigated with external IT security specialists, and alerted law enforcement. The company said it implemented additional network-security measures and offered affected people one year of complimentary credit monitoring and identity-theft restoration services.

Notice recipients should check their letters for the enrollment terms of the complimentary monitoring service and regularly review credit reports for accounts or applications they do not recognize. People whose Social Security numbers or driver's license information were involved may consider a fraud alert, credit freeze, or tax identity-protection PIN based on their circumstances and should not automatically trust links in unexpected messages referring to Kaplan or a credit bureau.
