Hollywood payroll company American Residuals & Talent suffered a “data security breach,” according to a SAG-AFTRA statement obtained by TheWrap on Wednesday. This comesย less than two weeks after hackers infiltrated Sony Pictures Entertainment.

“Some SAG-AFTRA members have received notice from American Residuals and Talent, Inc., d/b/a ART Payroll, regarding a data security breach at their company,” the statement read. “The breach may have affected the data of individuals who have received payments from ART Payroll.”

ART Payroll deals heavily with SAG-AFTRA member contracts and payroll services, but it’s unclear what portion of the actors guild’s 160,000 members might be affected.
