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 total number of people affected by this breach has not been publicly disclosed.

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

Steps to take if your information was exposed

• Place a credit freeze with all three credit bureaus. Contact Equifax (1-888-378-4329), Experian (1-888-397-3742) and TransUnion (1-800-916-8800) to place a freeze for free, which can help prevent new accounts from being opened in your name.
• Review your free credit reports. Visit AnnualCreditReport.com to check for any unfamiliar accounts or inquiries that could indicate fraud.
• Monitor bank and financial account statements closely. Because financial account names and numbers were exposed, watch for unauthorized transactions and report any suspicious activity to your financial institution right away.
• Consider placing a fraud alert on your credit file by contacting any one of the three major credit bureaus, which is required to notify the other two.
• Be cautious of phishing attempts that reference JRK Property Holdings or this breach by name, as scammers sometimes use real breach notifications to trick people into sharing more personal information.
• Report suspected identity theft to the Federal Trade Commission at identitytheft.gov or by calling 1-877-438-4338.
