A report from the Texas Attorney General's Office indicates that a security incident at New York-based broker-dealer DriveWealth that exposed personal information may have affected more than 2.5 million Texans, making it one of the larger financial-sector exposures reported this week. The figure emerges through state-level breach reporting rather than a company total, and the incident's scope beyond Texas has not been published. DriveWealth supplies brokerage infrastructure that other fintechs and consumer apps build on, so an exposure at the firm has an unusually long downstream tail — partner platforms and their customers may be affected even where the brand on the account is not DriveWealth's own.
