Full breach record for MORGAN STANLEY15 incidents on file

Morgan Stanley Smith Barney LLC notified customers of two incidents involving potential exposure of unencrypted personal data. In 2016, decommissioned devices from closed data centers retained data despite wiping. In 2019, a replaced branch server with encrypted disks was lost, and a manufacturer flaw could have left deleted data unencrypted. No unauthorized access was detected. Affected data included names, account numbers, SSNs, passport numbers, DOB, and asset values. 24 months of credit monitoring via Experian was offered.
