Fidelity National Financial, Inc.Nov 2023
$2.5 million
Spent responding & recovering
Direct expense
Fidelity National Financial locked its own systems to stop the intrusion and froze the title and escrow work sitting at the center of American home closings: hundreds of sales stalled because one title insurer went dark. Non-self-propagating malware still left with data on about 1.3 million people, names, Social Security numbers, loan numbers, from a network where one foothold reached far more than it should have. ALPHV/BlackCat claimed the attack and quietly pulled FNF from its leak site by mid-December, the usual tell of a ransom paid.
