Description
On January 11, 2018, Aperio Group, LLC, a third party investment manager used by Goldman Sachs, discovered that the email accounts of two of its employees were compromised by a sophisticated phishing attack which resulted in an unauthorized auto-forward rule being applied to those two employees' accounts. This caused all emails sent to those accounts between August 21, 2017, and January 11, 2018, to be blind copied to two external email addresses. The personal information involved in the incident consisted of the account name and account number for a Goldman Sachs account owned by two residents of North Carolina.
