364,000 Impacted by Data Breach at LexisNexis Risk Solutions

Data broker giant LexisNexis Risk Solutions (LNRS) is notifying more than 364,000 people that their personal information was stolen in a December 2024 data breach.

The incident occurred on December 25, but LNRS learned of it on April 1, 2025, the company said in the notification letter to the impacted individuals, a copy of which was submitted to the Maine Attorney General’s Office.

“An unauthorized third party acquired certain LNRS data from a third-party platform used for software development. The issue did not affect LNRS’s own networks or systems,” the company said.

Personal information stolen in the attack, LNRS says, includes names, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license number.

“No financial or credit card information was affected. We have no evidence that your data has been further misused,” the company says, noting that it has notified the relevant authorities of the incident.

LNRS informed the Maine AGO that 364,333 individuals were affected by the data breach and that it is providing them with two years of free identity protection and credit monitoring services.

Responding to a SecurityWeek inquiry, LNRS said that it learned of the data breach after it “received a report from an unknown third party claiming to have accessed certain information belonging to LNRS.”

The threat actor had accessed the company’s GitHub account and accessed “some software artifacts as well as some personal information.”
