Good morning dear
Figure Technology, a blockchain-based lending company, has confirmed a data breach.
According to spokesperson Alethea Jadick, who spoke to TechCrunch on Friday, the incident originated from a social engineering attack targeting an employee, which enabled hackers to obtain “a limited number of files.”
The company stated that it is working with its partners and affected individuals, and is offering free credit monitoring to everyone who receives a notification. However, Figure did not respond to detailed questions regarding the scope and impact of the breach.
The hacking group ShinyHunters claimed responsibility, saying Figure refused to pay a ransom and that the group released around 2.5 gigabytes of allegedly stolen data. TechCrunch reviewed a portion of the data, which included customers’ full names, home addresses, dates of birth, and phone numbers.
