JRK Property Holdings Data Breach Exposes Sensitive Information

JRK Property Holdings Inc., a Los Angeles-based real estate investment and management firm, disclosed a data breach after discovering that an unauthorized party may have accessed files containing sensitive personal and financial information.

On March 26, 2026, the company was alerted to unusual activity involving its information technology environment.

On April 4, 2026, roughly nine days after the unusual activity was first detected, a ransomware group known as The Gentlemen posted a claim on the Tor network. The Gentlemen stated that the group had obtained data belonging to JRK Property Holdings and intended to publish it within five to six days.

The types of personally identifiable information exposed included names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers and financial accounts.

The breach was reported to the Massachusetts, Nebraska, New Hampshire, South Carolina, Texas, Vermont and Washington attorneys general offices. JRK Property Holdings began notifying affected individuals on May 5, 2026.

The total number of people affected by this breach has not been publicly disclosed, although 11,120 residents in Texas, 5,667 in Washington, 1,154 in South Carolina and 396 in New Hampshire were impacted.
