Manzil Investment Advisors, LLC, a Delaware-based SEC-registered robo-advisor specializing in Shariah-compliant investment solutions for North American clients, confirmed a data breach after detecting unauthorized access to its network on April 2, 2026. The company contained the incident and engaged external cybersecurity experts to investigate.
By May 6, 2026, Manzil determined that an unauthorized party had accessed files containing personally identifiable information (PII) between April 2 and April 3, 2026. The breach was reported to the New Hampshire Attorney General on June 5, 2026. Prior to the official disclosure, the threat actor "uawrongteam" claimed responsibility on April 24, 2026, leaking compromised data, including Social Security numbers, dates of birth, contact details, and banking-related records.
The exposed information includes:
- Full names
- Social Security numbers
Manzil serves a niche market of Muslim and values-conscious investors, offering discretionary investment management and faith-based screening through its digital platform. The breach raises concerns about the security of sensitive financial and personal data within fintech platforms. Legal firms, including Shamis & Gentile P.A., are investigating potential compensation claims for affected individuals.
