On or about August 21, 2025, Pacific Symphony discovered that an unauthorized third party had accessed part of its IT network. The organization immediately terminated the unauthorized access and engaged third-party cybersecurity experts to investigate the incident. While initial findings suggested no sensitive personal information was compromised, further review revealed that the attacker may have extracted data from a limited portion of the IT environment.
Pacific Symphony conducted an extensive document review to identify individuals whose information may have been exposed. Impacted individuals are being offered 12 months of free credit monitoring and $1,000,000 identity theft insurance through Experian IdentityWorks.
Pacific Symphony is a renowned performing arts organization based in California, dedicated to presenting symphonic music and cultural programs to the community.
Following the breach, Pacific Symphony implemented enhanced security measures, including network hardening and additional monitoring tools.
If you received a Data Breach notification letter from Pacific Symphony, it confirms that your information was potentially impacted.
What information is involved in the Pacific Symphony Data Breach?
Compromised information may include:
First Name
Last Name
Other Personally Identifiable Information (not specifically disclosed)
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. Additionally, California residents also benefit from medical privacy protections under the Confidentiality of Medical Information Act (CMIA), which specifically grants enhanced protections for confidential medical data.
If you received a NOTICE OF DATA BREACH letter from Pacific Symphony, 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.
