Fidelity National Financial now says criminals got hold of data belonging to 1.3 million customers after breaking into its IT network in November.

"The company has no evidence that any customer-owned system was directly impacted in the incident, and no customer has reported that this has occurred. The last confirmed date of unauthorized third-party activity in the company's network occurred on November 20, 2023.".

FNF also said it notified about 1.3 million customers whose data was stolen, and will provide credit monitoring and identity services to those affected.

Another mortgage lender, Mr Cooper, last month said it expects to spend at least $25 million cleaning up its earlier security breach, which saw almost 14.7 million people's data stolen.

In addition to these two financial services firms, LoanDepot on Monday said it is experiencing a "Cyber incident" that has taken some systems offline.

Fidelity continues to "Implement measures to secure its business operations, bring systems back online and respond to the incident," it added.
