What Happened in the Prosper Data Breach
According to SecurityWeek and TechRadar, Prosper Marketplace, an online lending platform that connects borrowers and investors, confirmed that a third-party vendor experienced unauthorized access to customer data affecting roughly 17.6 million accounts.
While Prosper’s core systems remain operational, early reports indicate that cybercriminals gained access to sensitive information stored within external data repositories.
As of now, the company has not disclosed the full method of the breach, but experts warn that the stolen information could be exploited for identity theft, fraud, or phishing scams.
What Information May Have Been Exposed
Reports from Malwarebytes and TechRadar note that the breach likely involved a wide range of consumer data, including:
- Full names and home addresses
- Dates of birth
- Email addresses and phone numbers
- Social Security numbers (SSNs)
- Partial bank account and loan details
Information of this kind is highly valuable to cybercriminals. When pieced together, it can enable attackers to create complete digital profiles of victims—potentially leading to identity theft or fraudulent financial activity.
