Heights Finance data breach: What customers need to know
Brief
Heights Finance Holdings’ online data breach notification says an unauthorized party accessed a third-party cloud platform containing customer data, potentially exposing highly sensitive personal, banking, and identity information.
Heights Finance is a consumer lender that offers personal installment loans. Reportedly , the company filed a report with Texas regulators mentioning 734,828 affected people, though that figure should not automatically be read as a confirmed nationwide total, since Heights Finance operates dozens of personal loan companies across Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Texas, and South Carolina.
The company is associated with the former CURO Management business and related brands. The breach notice covers not only some Heights Finance customers, but potentially people connected to certain current or former CURO-related brands.
