Posted On March 12, 2025 Consumer Privacy & Data Breaches
March 12 – The HOLT Group data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C are investigating the data breach that was reported after the company was targeted in a recent cyber security attack. The HOLT Group data breach resulted in the unauthorized exposure of consumers’ names, financial account information, driver’s license numbers, and addresses of certain individuals being compromised.
According to the Texas Attorney General’s office, HOLT Group reported a data breach after they were targeted in a recent cybersecurity incident. The company filed an official notice with the Attorney General of Texas on March 11, 2025, following their investigation that confirmed unauthorized access to sensitive consumer information.
The exact timing of when notification letters were sent to affected individuals remains unclear. While companies typically begin sending out data breach letters at the time they file with state authorities, HOLT Group’s specific notification timeline may vary. When sent, these letters should provide recipients with detailed information about what specific personal data of theirs was compromised in the breach.
At this early stage, limited information is available about the precise nature of the security incident. HOLT Group has not issued a press release or posted a website notice with additional details about the breach. The filing with the Texas Attorney General provides only basic information about what occurred. It remains unclear whether the unauthorized access resulted from a direct attack on HOLT Group’s systems or possibly through a vulnerability at one of the company’s third-party vendors or partners.
