A global firm providing consulting, technology, and outsourced services to some of the biggest banks and mortgage lenders in the United States has suffered a data breach which saw hackers manage to steal some of its sensitive data, as well as the details it held on behalf of its clients.
SitusAMC provides a full suite of services to support the entire lifecycle of commercial and residential real estate finance, from loan origination and underwriting, to portfolio management, servicing, and valuation of debt and equity assets.

In a short announcement published on its website, SitusAMC said that the stolen data belongs to both itself, and its clients:
“Corporate data associated with certain of our clients’ relationship with SitusAMC such as accounting records and legal agreements has been impacted. Certain data relating to some of our clients’ customers may also have been impacted,” it said, adding that the investigation is still ongoing and that third-party cybersecurity experts have been brought in to assist.
Law enforcement was also notified, the company stressed, and added that this was not a ransomware attack, but rather a simple data smash-and-grab.
We don’t know how many of SitusAMC clients are affected by this attack, or what kind of information was stolen. When reached out by representatives of the media, most banks either declined to comment or simply did not respond to media inquiries. No threat actors have yet taken responsibility for the attack.
