5CA has responded to recent media reports attributing a data breach involving one of its clients to the company. The organization has clarified that none of its systems were part of the incident, and it has not processed government-issued IDs for the affected client. 5CA maintains that all its platforms and systems are secure, continuing to safeguard client data under stringent security controls.
The company is currently conducting a forensic investigation into the situation and is working closely with the client as well as external advisors, including cybersecurity experts and ethical hackers. Preliminary findings indicate that the breach took place externally and as such, 5CA itself was not hacked. There have been no indications of any adverse effects on other clients, systems, or data associated with 5CA. The company’s access controls, encryption practices, and monitoring systems are fully functional and are currently under enhanced scrutiny as a precaution.
Initial investigations suggest that human error may have contributed to the incident, but the full extent of this possibility remains to be determined. 5CA assures that it is maintaining open communication with all relevant parties and is committed to providing verified information once the investigation’s findings are confirmed.
