Zacks Investment Research

Zacks Investment Research (Zacks) announced a data breach, and it is possible that 820,000 of its customers' personal information was compromised.

Threat actors allegedly gained access to an earlier database of users who had subscribed to the Zacks Elite service between November 1999 and February 2005, according to the warning.

Name, address, phone number, email address, and password for Zacks.com may be among the client information that has been exposed. The business is confident that no customer credit card information, other customer financial information, or other customer personal information was accessible to threat actors.

The investment research organization declared that it has added security safeguards to safeguard its systems and is looking into the incident's full scope.
