Fidelity National Nightmare: 1.3 Million Clients’ Data in Ransomware Crosshairs
In a plot twist that’s less “Home Sweet Home” and more “Home Hack Home,” Fidelity National Financial admits to 1.3 million customers playing unwelcome guest stars in their very own data breach drama, courtesy of BlackCat ransomware’s not-so-purrfect heist.
Hot Take:
Well, folks, it looks like Fidelity National Financial (FNF) has been handed the cybersecurity equivalent of a "Dear John" letter by none other than the BlackCat ransomware gang. They've gone from insuring titles to ensuring headaches as 1.3 million customers are now starring in their very own privacy horror show. And in true ransomware romance fashion, BlackCat played hard to get, waiting for FNF to make the first move. Spoiler alert: Exfiltrating customer data is not the kind of first date you brag about to your friends.
