Project Hospitality Inc.

Project Hospitality Inc. experienced a data breach reported by the Michigan Attorney General on May 7, 2025, though the unauthorized access was initially detected on July 8, 2024. The incident involved the exposure of highly sensitive personal and financial information, including names, financial account numbers, and financial account access details. The exact number of affected individuals remains undisclosed, raising concerns about potential large-scale identity theft, financial fraud, or unauthorized transactions.The breach suggests a severe compromise of customer data, likely due to inadequate security measures or a targeted cyber intrusion. Given the nature of the exposed information directly linked to financial accounts victims face heightened risks of fraudulent activities, such as unauthorized withdrawals, credit card fraud, or phishing attacks leveraging the stolen data. The prolonged gap between detection (July 2024) and public disclosure (May 2025) further exacerbates the situation, as affected individuals may have remained vulnerable for an extended period without awareness.The incident underscores critical failures in data protection protocols, potentially damaging the organization’s reputation, customer trust, and financial stability. Regulatory scrutiny and legal repercussions, including fines or lawsuits, are probable outcomes, particularly if negligence in safeguarding sensitive data is confirmed.
