Tradier Brokerage Data Breach Exposed Social Security Numbers

Tradier Brokerage Inc., a Charlotte, North Carolina-based online broker-dealer, disclosed a data breach that stemmed from a cyberattack on one of its third-party vendors, Etna Software Corporation.

On Aug. 28, 2026, an attack was carried out against Etna Software Corporation. Etna is a third-party vendor that provides the order management system and pre-trade controls used by Tradier in operating its brokerage business. Tradier became aware of the incident on Sept. 3, 2026.

Tradier's own internal network was not compromised and remained secure throughout the incident. The breach was instead limited to systems and data held by Etna.

The types of personal information that were potentially accessed or used without authorization included full names, addresses, phone numbers, Social Security numbers and government-issued tax ID numbers.

Tradier began notifying affected customers by email. The incident has so far impacted 9,404 Texas residents and 1,580 Massachusetts residents.

The breach was additionally disclosed to the California Attorney General.
