Fidelity National Nightmare: 1.3 Million Customers’ Data Swiped in Cyber Heist!

In a plot twist worthy of a digital heist movie, Fidelity National Financial admits 1.3 million customers’ data was swiped by cyber baddies. Ransomware rogues BlackCat took a bow, but Fidelity’s still playing the “was it ransomware?” guessing game. Cue the lawsuits, but with their billion-dollar cushion, will FNF just shrug it off?

Hot Take:

Well, it looks like Fidelity National Financial had a 'come to Jesus' moment with the ole cybersecurity gods when their IT network got the digital equivalent of a B&E. That's a Break-in and Exfiltrate, for the uninitiated. Now, 1.3 million customers get to join the 'my data was stolen' club, and FNF is left juggling lawsuits like they're auditioning for Cirque du Cyber-sleuth. Ransomware gang ALPHV/BlackCat is taking a bow for the chaos, and FNF? They're offering free credit monitoring, which is like getting a free band-aid after you've already lost a limb to data pirates. Aye, matey!
