Hot Take:

Apparently, "Fidelity" in Fidelity National Financial doesn't extend to keeping your data secure. The company let slip the personal info of 1.3 million customers in a cyberattack, turning their week-long outage into a full-blown data leak fiesta. It's like they decided to invite hackers for Thanksgiving and served up a delightful, tech-infused stuffing of sensitive customer data. As for the hackers, known as ALPHV, they seem to be playing a twisted game of "cat and mouse", or should we say "BlackCat and FNF".
