The incident compromised a wide array of personal and financial data, including names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license details, and bank account information. While Heights Finance maintains that the unauthorized access was isolated to a specific cloud-based server and did not reach its internal loan management systems, the scope of the exposure remains significant for individuals associated with its brands, such as Covington Credit, Quick Credit, and Southern Finance.
