Americans who hoped to close on home sales this week may have had their hopes dashed by an attack on Fidelity National Financial. The Register reports:
Fortune 500 insurance biz Fidelity National Financial (FNF) has confirmed that it has fallen victim to a “cybersecurity incident.”
The announcement came in the form of an 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Tuesday, saying it had been forced to shut down a number of systems, disrupting various areas of the business.
“For example, the services we provide related to title insurance, escrow and other title-related services, mortgage transaction services, and technology to the real estate and mortgage industries, have been affected by these measures,” it said.
