Fulcrum Real Estate Data Breach Exposes Social Security Numbers

Fulcrum Real Estate Services Inc, a property management company based in Tacoma and Tumwater, Washington, disclosed a data breach that may have exposed Social Security numbers. A total of 1,547 individuals were impacted as a result of the breach.

The breach was disclosed to the Indiana Attorney General, to the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation and to the Vermont Attorney General. Fulcrum Real Estate Services discovered the incident on March 9, 2026.

The incident was a ransomware attack that targeted the company's Egnyte platform, a cloud-based system used for storing and sharing files. On or about March 9, 2026, suspicious activity was detected on the platform.

An investigation determined that certain files stored on the Egnyte platform may have been accessed or acquired without authorization on that same date. The company then conducted a comprehensive review of those files to determine whether any personal information was involved.

On or about May 5, 2026, the review confirmed that personal information belonging to certain individuals was contained in the potentially compromised data.

The personal information exposed in the breach included first and last names and Social Security numbers.

On April 29, 2026, a ransomware group known as INC RANSOM posted a claim on the Tor network, a part of the dark web often used by cybercriminals to publicize stolen data. The group claimed to have obtained two terabytes of data from Fulcrum Real Estate Services.
