The situation is evolving, and we encourage all clients to check for updates on the NAIC\u2019s website for information on what data has been compromised.<\/p><p>\nThe NAIC became aware of a cybersecurity breach affecting its systems on June 11, 2026. On June 18, the NAIC publicly disclosed the incident and subsequently notified KBRA. On June 26, the NAIC notified KBRA that unpublished KBRA ratings information submitted through our regulatory data feed had been exported during the incident. The NAIC requires KBRA and other credit rating agencies to provide these data feeds for NAIC designation purposes.<\/p><p>\nBased on the information provided to KBRA by the NAIC, the compromised data includes unpublished ratings information and related identifiers but did not include transaction or issuer names or information. On June 26, the NAIC informed KBRA that the compromised information involved in the incident had been uploaded to a site used to distribute data obtained through cyber incidents.<\/p><p>\nThis incident did not involve unauthorized access to KBRA\u2019s systems or a compromise of KBRA\u2019s cybersecurity controls. Based on the information currently available, unauthorized access occurred within the NAIC\u2019s systems after KBRA had securely transmitted information pursuant to regulatory reporting requirements.<\/p><p>\nAs a repository for confidential regulatory information submitted by credit rating agencies, the NAIC is responsible for safeguarding that information and for notifying affected organizations when a cybersecurity incident may affect information entrusted to it. The period between the NAIC\u2019s discovery of the incident on June 11, its public disclosure on June 18, and its confirmation to KBRA on June 26 that KBRA\u2019s data had been affected limited KBRA\u2019s ability to assess the situation, evaluate potential impacts, and communicate with regulators, clients, and other stakeholders.<\/p><p>\nIn response to this incident, KBRA has suspended its regulatory data feed to the NAIC pending satisfactory resolution of the cybersecurity issues identified by the NAIC and a better understanding of the safeguards that will be implemented to prevent a recurrence.<\/p><p>\nKBRA will continue to monitor developments and engage with the NAIC as the NAIC\u2019s investigation proceeds. KBRA believes our clients and other stakeholders deserve timely and transparent communication regarding matters that may affect confidential information entrusted to third parties.
