SitusAMC Data Breach: A Comedy of Errors in the Banking Back Office
SitusAMC, a financial services firm, recently revealed a data breach impacting its clients’ information. The company, which manages back-office operations for banking giants, assures that business remains uninterrupted. While the investigation continues, SitusAMC is directly notifying affected parties, minus the classic “Hello, you’ve won a free cruise!” approach.
Hot Take:
Looks like SitusAMC has joined the not-so-exclusive club of businesses that learned the hard way that data breaches are the new “it” thing.
