Ahoy mateys! It be true that Fidelity Investments, a grand ship in the world o' finance, hath been struck by a mighty data breach! Aye, this be the second time in a year that they’ve faced the dastardly clutches of the cyber scallywags.While no gold doubloons or Fidelity accounts were plundered, personal treasures like Social Security numbers and driver’s licenses be exposed to the wind! A sneaky pirate, or should I say a third party, managed to infiltrate their treasure trove using two new accounts. Arrr, how they pulled that caper be a mystery worthy of the finest sea shanties!
Fidelity be takin' it semi-serious, offering free credit monitoring for two years to those affected, as if that be enough to calm the stormy seas of worry! They detected the breach on August 19 and promptly shut the gates, but alas, over 77,000 good sailors found their personal info washed ashore.
