Over 77,000 customers' personal information is exposed in Fidelity Investments data breach

Summary

72% Informative

Fidelity Investments is the latest American company to be hit by a massive data breach.

The company is one of the world’s largest asset managers, yet it still can't get its cybersecurity infrastructure together.

The data breach compromised the personal information of over 77,000 customers but did not involve any access to their Fidelity accounts.

Fidelity is offering free credit monitoring and identity restoration services for those impacted.

Fidelity seems to be taking a "slap on the wrist" approach, signing people up for services that shift the responsibility to individuals to monitor for violations.

There’s a lack of security measures at the individual level, such as row-level security or authentication tokens.
