Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC Breach

Berkadia Commercial Mortgage LLC, a commercial real estate finance company, was affected by a data breach that exposed a large volume of personal information, including Social Security numbers. DataBreach.com’s parse found 2,778 SSNs, 233,711 phone numbers, 301,990 email addresses, 434,200 full names, and 247,746 street addresses in the dataset.

The mix of exposed data suggests the breach included both broad contact information and a smaller set of more sensitive identity data. Names, addresses, emails, and phone numbers can support phishing and impersonation, while the exposed Social Security numbers could create identity-fraud risk for the subset of people affected.
