    Detailed summary

    Semgrep, a provider of security tools, was reportedly impacted by a data breach on 2026-05-22, attributed to the Qilin ransomware group. This report originates from ransomware tracking sites and has not been confirmed by Semgrep or any regulatory bodies. The public information available about Semgrep relates to its role as a security company and its analysis of supply-chain attacks, rather than as the victim of a confirmed customer data breach.

    The specific number of individuals affected, the types of data compromised, and the states where affected individuals reside have not been publicly disclosed or confirmed. There is no information available regarding the exposure of sensitive data such as SSN, medical records, or financial information. The company has not issued an official breach notification statement, and there are no Attorney General filings or reports of class action lawsuits directly related to a Semgrep customer data breach.

    Details surrounding this reported incident remain limited, and further information may emerge over time as investigations progress or official notifications are made. Without direct confirmation from Semgrep or regulatory bodies, much remains unclear.
