Breach Summary
On June 6, 2025, New American Funding was notified that its third-party notary vendor, Mobile Notary Zone (MNZ), had suffered a data-security incident in which an unauthorized actor accessed MNZ systems and exfiltrated mortgage closing documents containing NAF consumer data. NAF stated its own systems were not breached. Between roughly 30,000 and 50,000 individuals were impacted; a dataset parse found about 38,200 phone numbers, 26,800 emails, and 10,800 Social Security numbers, and official disclosures confirm names, addresses, dates of birth, Social Security numbers, and financial account details were involved. No threat actor claimed responsibility. NAF filed with the California AG and began notifying consumers on July 11, 2025.

About New American Funding
New American Funding is a large privately held U.S. mortgage lender and loan servicer headquartered in Tustin, California, originating and servicing residential home loans nationwide. It maintains borrower, co-borrower, and guarantor identity, income, property, and financial records across loan origination and servicing, and works with third-party vendors for closing-related services.
Why They Hold Your Data
Mortgage lenders collect highly sensitive borrower identity, income, employment, credit, property, bank-linkage, and loan-servicing records across residential lending workflows.
Recent Developments
The exposure did not stem from a direct compromise of New American Funding but from its third-party notary vendor, Mobile Notary Zone (MNZ), which was breached in mid-2025. NAF completed its record review by June 26, 2025, filed with the California Attorney General, began notifying consumers on July 11, 2025, terminated the MNZ relationship, and offered credit monitoring; class-action investigations followed.

Breach Impact
Because the exfiltrated MNZ data consisted of mortgage closing packages, the exposure combined Social Security numbers, dates of birth, addresses, and financial account details for borrowers, co-borrowers, and guarantors, an unusually potent bundle for identity theft, loan and wire fraud, and highly targeted mortgage scams. The vendor origin also underscores third-party risk in the lending supply chain.
Exploitation & Downstream Threats
• Identity theft and synthetic identity construction using SSN and DOB | • Mortgage/wire fraud and fraudulent loan applications using financial account details | • Targeted phishing and vishing impersonating the lender or title/closing agents | • SIM swap attacks where phone numbers are present | • Doxxing and physical targeting from exposed home addresses
Principal Risk Advisory
What this means for a principal
A financial-institution breach: account, wealth or payment data supports direct fraud and highly credible financial-impersonation scams. For a high-profile principal this is targeting-grade, not merely identity-theft-grade: the combination lets an adversary locate, impersonate, or pressure the principal with little additional work.
What You Should Do
- Freeze credit at all three bureaus and monitor for new-account and tax-refund fraud.
- Treat the home address as exposed: review mail and package handling and physical-security routines, and brief household staff to verify unusual requests.
- Guard against SIM-swap and vishing: add a carrier port-out PIN and verify any 'support' calls independently.
- Do not use unofficial 'am I affected' lookups; several are themselves harvesting operations.
How ObscureIQ Can Help
- Corpus confirmation: determine whether and where the principal (plus household and staff) appear in this dataset and which specific fields are exposed for them.
- Exposure mapping and footprint neutralization: cross-reference against broker-available data and suppress still-removable elements, prioritizing address and phone, since this record re-seeds broker networks.
- ThreatWatch tuned to this incident's identifiers and misuse pattern (impersonation and targeting patterns, not generic credential monitoring).
