VC firm Insight Partners says thousands of staff and limited partners had personal data stolen in a ransomware attack
The venture capital giant, behind cyber giants Wiz and Databricks, notified current and former employees, as well as the firm's limited partners, that their data was stolen in a January cyberattack.
In a statement on September 4, the VC giant said it completed its review earlier in August following its data breach, which it described as a “social engineering attack” without further explanation. The venture firm has now said in a formal data breach notification filed with California’s attorney general this week that the hackers broke in during mid-October 2024 to the company’s human resources system. Insight separately also told the Maine attorney general this week in an official notice that the ransomware attack affects more than 12,600 people.
