Through the EB-5 Immigrant Investor Program, NYCRC secures foreign capital for real estate and infrastructure development projects across Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, and the Bronx, and has facilitated the issuance of over 4,650 permanent green cards.

The number of individuals affected was also not specified. No independent media reporting, ransomware group claims, or additional regulatory filings about this incident were found.
The approximately four-month gap between the breach date of March 30th, 2026, and the notification filing on August 5th, 2026, is notable.
