Redtail Technology notified Some financial advisors who use their client relationship management software that they may have had their clients’ personal data exposed on the internet.
The client relationship software provider told affected advisors that the data was temporarily available to anyone on the internet but affected less than 1% of Redtail’s clients.
The data compromised included clients’ names, physical addresses, dates of birth, and Social Security numbers.
Redtail has offered affected investors free access to a Symantec product for credit and identity theft monitoring and remediation to make up for the exposure.
