On or about September 23, 2025, Alight Solutions became aware of a privacy incident involving the inadvertent disclosure of personal information. The breach occurred when a report containing sensitive data was mistakenly sent to another Alight client due to human error. Although the recipient was authorized and confirmed deletion of the data, the exposure still constitutes a serious privacy violation.
Alight is a global provider of human capital and business solutions, including benefits administration and cloud-based HR services for many large organizations and over 35 million people and dependents.
Alight sent data breach notification letters to affected individuals and offered complimentary identity protection services through Experian IdentityWorks. If you received a Data Breach notification letter from Alight Solutions, it confirms that your information was potentially impacted.
What information is involved in the Alight Data Breach?
Compromised information may include:
Name
Social Security Number
Address
Benefit Plan Enrollment Information
Your Personally Identifiable Information (PII) includes details that can be used to identify you. Organizations are legally obligated to safeguard this data, and failure to do so can result in statutory fines and other legal consequences. If PII is stolen, it may be exploited by criminals to commit identity fraud.
A specific category of PII is Protected Health Information (PHI), which pertains to personal medical data. PHI is safeguarded under both federal and state regulations. Entities such as healthcare providers and businesses that manage PHI must ensure its security. Just like PII, compromised PHI can be misused by identity thieves, and it’s common for cybercriminals to use both types of information together.
If your data has been exposed in a breach, one of the most effective steps you can take is to enroll in credit and identity monitoring services promptly.
Residents of California benefit from additional privacy protections under the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA), which grants enhanced rights regarding personal data.
If you received a NOTICE OF DATA BREACH letter from Alight Solutions, your personal, financial, and/or medical information may be at risk. This type of data can be exploited by identity thieves to commit fraud and other crimes.
