WASHINGTON—Hackers who broke into a U.S. regulatory database that stores market-moving corporate information also accessed personal details about two people, including their names, dates of birth and Social Security numbers. The Securities and Exchange Commission revealed the theft of personal information stemming from a 2016 breach of its Edgar system in a statement released Monday. The SEC’s analysis of the breach is playing out in real time as the regulator scrambles to understand the scope of damage from the incident.
