Fidelity National’s Nightmare: Ransomware Heist Exposes 1.3M Sensitive Records
In a digital heist with less stealth than a cat burglar in clogs, Fidelity National’s systems were held ransom by the infamous BlackCat. Sensitive data pilfered, and 1.3 million identities hang by a thread. Cue the credit monitoring! #RansomwareCatAstrophe
Hot Take:
Oh, Fidelity National Financial, did you think you would be immune to the cybercriminal cupid's arrow? Cupid's not so cute when he's slinging BlackCat ransomware instead of heart-tipped arrows. Now, with 1.3 million love letters (read: sensitive customer data) in the wrong hands, let's just say someone's getting a lot more attention than they bargained for. Better stock up on those credit monitoring chocolates; it's going to be a bumpy courtship with those affected customers.
