Finastra’s Data Breach Fiasco: A Comedy of Errors or Just a Low-Risk Drama?
Finastra’s data breach had hackers making off with 400 gigabytes of personal info. The company sent notifications to affected individuals, offering two years of identity protection. While the risk is deemed low, the incident left many wondering if Finastra’s negotiation skills included deleting the hacker’s forum post!
