About Passco Companies, LLC
Passco Companies, LLC is a real estate investment firm specializing in the acquisition, development, and management of multifamily and commercial properties across the United States. Founded in 1998, the company is headquartered in Irvine, California, and has acquired over $7 billion in assets while serving more than 12,000 investors.

What Happened?
Passco Companies, LLC was listed in a Maine Attorney General filing describing an external system breach — characterized as hacking — that took place on August 7th, 2025. Passco discovered the unauthorized access on December 16th, 2025, after retaining third-party forensic specialists to investigate suspicious activity on its systems. The compromised data varies by individual and includes names, Social Security numbers, driver’s license or state identification numbers, and financial account information. A total of 8,335 people were affected. Passco is offering 12 months of credit monitoring and identity theft protection through Experian IdentityWorks at no cost to affected individuals.
The notification timeline reflects a significant delay. Passco began providing written notice to some affected individuals on April 17th, 2026 — roughly four months after discovery and approximately ten months after the breach itself. A supplemental notice was filed with Maine on June 11th, 2026, after Passco completed additional work to locate mailing addresses for more affected individuals, a process that continued through May 19th, 2026. No ransomware group has publicly claimed responsibility, and no independent media coverage of this incident has been identified.

What Should You Do?
If you received a notice from Passco, enroll in the Experian IdentityWorks credit monitoring service before the enrollment deadline stated in your letter. Beyond that, consider placing a fraud alert or credit freeze with the three major credit bureaus — Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion — to make it harder for someone to open new accounts in your name. You can request your free annual credit reports at AnnualCreditReport.com and review them carefully for accounts or inquiries you do not recognize. Because financial account information was among the data exposed, monitor your bank and financial accounts closely for any unauthorized transactions. If you believe your information is being misused, visit IdentityTheft.gov to report it and get a personalized recovery plan.
