Full breach record for MORGAN STANLEY →15 incidents on file

Morgan Stanley notified customers of two incidents involving potential exposure of personal data. In 2016, decommissioned data center equipment may have retained unencrypted data despite vendor wiping. In 2019, a replaced branch server with encrypted disks was lost; a software flaw may have left small amounts of deleted data unencrypted. No unauthorized access was detected. Affected data included names, account numbers, SSNs, and contact info. Morgan Stanley offered 24 months of credit monitoring.
