PRUDENTIAL FINANCIAL INC (PFH, PRH, PRS, PRU)Feb 2024
$4.75 million
Spent responding & recovering
Direct expense
The intruders walked in through employee and contractor accounts, the kind of access that treats a valid login as proof of belonging, and left with names, addresses, and driver's license numbers. Prudential first put the count at roughly 36,000; the final tally was 2,556,210, a blast radius it underestimated by close to seventy to one. ALPHV claimed the theft on its leak site, but the harder number is how long the company took to learn the size of its own breach.
