Kaplan North America: files with SSNs taken from servers

Overview

Also filed with the Vermont and Washington AGs on the same day. The Record reported that Kaplan told Oregon regulators about 1.4 million people were affected; the primary filing was not verified, so the count is left blank. The first-disclosure date is the earliest public document confirmed (California AG posting); no 2025 public disclosure was found in other state AG lists, HHS or company notices checked.
