Robo-advisor Betterment disclosed a breach affecting ~1.4 million customers in January 2026. The initial vector appears to have been a fake-crypto-offer phishing campaign that compromised an internal account. Account-balance metadata combined with linked-bank details makes this dataset attractive for targeted financial-fraud follow-on operations.
