About Goldman Sachs
Goldman Sachs is a major global investment bank and financial services firm, founded in 1869 by Marcus Goldman in New York City. Over the years, Goldman Sachs has expanded its operations worldwide, maintaining offices in all major financial centers.
The company is known for its involvement in commercial paper trading, IPO underwriting and other financial innovations. Goldman Sachs Asset Management, a division of the company, provides investment management services to individuals and institutions. The firm works with external counsel, including law firms like Fried Frank, to handle legal matters related to alternative investment funds and managed accounts.
What Happened?
In December 2025, a cybersecurity incident was discovered at the law firm Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, which serves as external counsel to Goldman Sachs for many of its alternative investment funds and managed accounts. While Goldman Sachs systems were not impacted, sensitive data entrusted to Fried Frank may have been exposed.
Information Allegedly Exposed:
- Names
- Contact and demographic information
- Government identification numbers, such as Social Security or driver’s license numbers
- Financial account information
- Dates of birth
Goldman Sachs notified affected investors of the incident in a letter dated Dec. 19, 2025. The company stated it was working closely with Fried Frank to determine the extent of the exposure and would provide further notifications as more information became available.
Fried Frank reported that, based on steps taken so far, it believes the data is unlikely to be distributed or used improperly and that vulnerabilities have been remediated. However, as of now, affected individuals have not received direct notice from Fried Frank or been offered credit monitoring services.
