Angel One, a leading financial services platform, disclosed a breach involving unauthorized access to specific client data after some of its Amazon Web Services (AWS) resources were compromised. The company emphasized its commitment to client data privacy and announced that an external forensic partner had been engaged to investigate the breach comprehensively. “We value the trust our clients place in us and are taking all necessary steps to ensure their data remains protected,” said a spokesperson for Angel One. Cybersecurity experts have noted that cloud-based breaches like this highlight the growing need for robust security measures in handling sensitive financial data. Unauthorized access to cloud resources can result in significant reputational and operational risks for companies, particularly in industries like financial services where trust is paramount. The incident was discovered on February 27, 2025, when the company received alerts from its dark-web monitoring partner about a potential data leakage. Angel One’s swift response in changing credentials and engaging forensic experts reflects an industry-standard approach to managing such incidents.
