Prosper Marketplace Data Breach: What You Need to Know

Prosper Marketplace, Inc. discovered unauthorized activity on its systems on September 1, 2025, and brought in a cybersecurity firm to investigate. The investigation found that between June and August 2025, someone ran unauthorized queries against company databases that store customer and applicant data, and personal information was obtained as a result. This falls under hacking or system intrusion. Prosper says it found no evidence that customer accounts or funds were accessed, and that customer-facing operations were not interrupted. It took until November 26, 2025, for Prosper to finish analyzing the affected data and determine exactly whose information was involved and what it included.

This notice is going to individuals whose personal information was stored in Prosper’s customer or applicant databases and was confirmed to have been accessed during the incident. The version of this letter we reviewed did not spell out the specific categories of information involved for this recipient — that section appeared blank in the source document Prosper filed. If you received this letter, the specific list of data types affecting you should appear in your copy; if it’s missing or unclear, it’s worth calling the number below to ask directly.

What information was exposed?
  • Personal information from Prosper’s customer and/or applicant records (the notification did not specify the exact data elements for this recipient)
