Payday loan provider Check City has notified 322,687 people about a March 2025 data breach, Comparitech reported Thursday (April 2).
The data breach compromised names, Social Security numbers, government-issued ID numbers, financial account numbers, credit and debit card numbers, dates of birth and addresses, according to the report.
A ransomware group called Clop claimed in May 2025 that it was responsible for the breach, the report said, adding that Check City has not acknowledged the cybercriminal group’s claim and that Comparitech has not independently verified it.
According to the report, Clop first surfaced in 2019 and since that time has claimed responsibility for 457 ransomware attacks, 37 of which have been confirmed by the targeted organizations.
It was reported in October 2023 that Clop was the hacking group responsible for the MOVEit attack that accessed the email addresses of about 632,000 U.S. federal employees at the Department of Defense and the Department of Justice.
