Apollo Global Management, a trillion-dollar private equity giant, confirmed a major data breach where hackers stole personal info—including names, birth dates, addresses, and Social Security numbers—via social engineering between July 6–10. The attack, part of a broader wave targeting financial firms, involved impersonating IT support to trick employees into handing over credentials. Hackers dubbed Falcon and Helix are reportedly extorting companies for up to $750K, exposing thousands of employees and potentially linked third parties. This underscores that even the biggest institutions are vulnerable—and everyday people’s data can be collateral damage in the escalating cyber arms race.
