Consero Global Solutions, a Texas-based financial services firm specializing in Finance as a Service (FaaS), suffered a data breach on April 27, 2025, exposing sensitive personally identifiable information (PII) of consumers. The compromised data included names and Social Security numbers (SSNs), which are high-risk identifiers for identity theft and fraud. The breach was formally disclosed to the California Attorney General’s office on November 14, 2025, nearly six months post-incident. Affected individuals were notified and offered 12 months of free credit monitoring, dark web monitoring, identity protection, and up to $1M in identity theft insurance via Cyberscout (TransUnion). The breach poses significant risks of financial fraud, unauthorized account access, and long-term identity exploitation. Legal investigations by Shamis & Gentile P.A. are underway to pursue compensation for victims, emphasizing the breach’s severe implications for consumer trust and regulatory compliance.
