Who’s Data Got Kidnapped This Week? Fidelity’s Fumble in the Face of Ransomware Shenanigans!

In this week’s episode of ‘Who’s Data Got Kidnapped,’ Fidelity National Financial takes center stage in a ransomware attack drama. Spoiler alert: it’s not just about if you’ll get hit, but when. And when you do, remember – offering credit monitoring as a surprise gift doesn’t exactly scream ‘we’ve got this.’

Hot Take:

It seems we've got another episode of "Who's Data Got Kidnapped This Week," and this time, the victim is Fidelity National Financial. This proves once again that cybercriminals really aren't picky with their targets. So, dear companies, it's not about if you're going to get hit, but when. And when you do get hit, remember to keep your clients in the loop, because nothing says "we messed up" like offering credit monitoring and identity theft services out of the blue.
