A hacker claims to breach HSBC USA and alleges to possess a large database of sensitive customer personal information and financial details. The hacker shared screenshots and data samples on a dark web forum, claiming that the breach was a result of coordinated efforts to access the bank’s records.
The stolen database reportedly includes names, addresses, Social Security numbers, birth dates, phone numbers, email addresses, transaction histories, stock orders, and bank account details.

Cybernews reported, the bank is aware of the claims yet an investigation revealed that there are no indications the company suffered a data breach.
“HSBC has reviewed the claims and can confirm there is no indication that HSBC US or its service providers have been impacted by a data breach,” the banks’ spokesperson told.
“For HSBC USA, the leak could cause reputational damage and even lead to client loss as they may try to move their portfolios elsewhere,” the team explained.
The data sample that the attackers provided doesn’t paint the full picture of what’s inside the stolen dataset. For example, it’s unclear if the data belongs to retail banking customers. If so, the details could be a lot older than attackers claim, as HSBC USA has already exited the mass retail market in the USA.
However, according to the team, the dates in the sample indicate that the information is several weeks old. In that case, the stolen database could refer to the bank’s corporate and institutional clients.
