VC firm Insight Partners confirms personal data stolen during January hack


The venture capital firm has over $90 billion in assets under management, including cybersecurity giants.

Venture capital firm Insight Partners said it will alert an unspecified number of people that their personal information was stolen during a cyberattack in January. The VC firm confirmed in an updated statement this week it was planning to notify affected people on a rolling basis beginning “in the next few days.” The company said the stolen data includes personal information about its current and former employees, and information relating to its limited partners — the investors who provide capital to Insight’s venture funds but whose names are typically kept private. The VC firm has more than $90 billion in regulated assets under management, making it one of the largest tech startup investors in the world.
