Goldman Sachs Group Inc.’s data was exposed earlier this year in a hack of accounting firm EY, according to a person familiar with the matter.

The bank’s systems weren’t affected by the attack, a Goldman spokesperson said in an emailed statement, adding that client assets weren’t impacted and “remain safe.”

“As with other clients we understand were affected, we have been in regular contact with EY and are focused on working with them to support any of our clients impacted by their security incident,” the spokesperson said.

EY didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
