This incident<\/a> <\/strong>represents a small portion of Fidelity’s extensive customer base, which totals 51.5 million.<\/p>\n

The breach occurred between August 17 and 19, when an attacker exploited two newly created customer accounts to access sensitive information, including customer names. Fidelity detected the unauthorized access and terminated it on August 19.<\/p>\n

To address the situation, the $5 trillion asset management firm enlisted external security experts. Fidelity reassured customers that no accounts were compromised by the third party involved in the breach.<\/p>\n
