Fidelity National Financial, Inc.

The California Office of the Attorney General disclosed a **data breach** affecting **Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (FNF)** between **July 1, 2013, and November 1, 2013**. The incident involved potential exposure of sensitive **personal information**, including **Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers**, though no evidence confirmed unauthorized access or misuse of the data. A **third-party forensic investigation** was initiated to assess the scope and impact. While the breach raised concerns over the security of highly confidential records, the lack of confirmed data theft or malicious exploitation limited the immediate fallout. However, the exposure of such critical identifiers posed risks of **identity theft, financial fraud, or phishing attacks** if exploited in the future. The company faced reputational scrutiny and potential regulatory obligations due to the lapse in safeguarding customer data during the specified period.
