ITEM 8.01 – Other Events.
On September 1, 2025, Prosper Marketplace, Inc. (“PMI”) and Prosper Funding LLC (“PFL”, and together with PMI, the “Company”) identified that an unauthorized third party gained access to the Company’s systems that contain proprietary and confidential information¹,²,³. The Company promptly initiated its cybersecurity response plans and began taking steps to investigate, contain, and remediate the incident and enhance its security measures with the assistance of cybersecurity experts. The Company has also informed law enforcement.⁴
There is no evidence of unauthorized access to customer accounts and funds, and the Company’s customer-facing operations continue uninterrupted⁵. As of the date of this filing, the Company has determined that the incident has not had a material impact on its overall business operations, or on PMI and PFL individually⁶,⁷.
While the Company’s investigation is ongoing⁸, the Company has evidence that confidential, proprietary, and personal information, including Social Security numbers, was obtained⁹,¹⁰, including through unauthorized queries made on Company databases that store customer and applicant data. The Company is still in the process of identifying what information, including the number of records of personal information, was compromised. The Company will make required regulatory and individual notifications on a rolling basis.
The Company has yet to determine the full scope and impact of the incident and therefore the Company has yet to determine whether the incident is reasonably likely to materially impact its financial condition and results of operations, or PMI and PFL individually¹¹,¹².
The Company remains subject to various risks due to the incident, and an increase in the cost to the Company of its insurance policy covering cybersecurity incidents.
