   Wow. Fidelity says at least 77,000 customers had personal data stolen in a recent cyberattack.

   According to Fidelity, an unnamed third party accessed customers' personal data from its systems between August 17 and August 19 “using two customer accounts that they had recently established.” 👀

     Well this data breach just got a lot worse.

     Fidelity filed several other data breach notices, which confirm that the unauthorized third-party "accessed and retrieved certain documents related to Fidelity customers and other individuals by submitting fraudulent requests to an internal database that housed images of documents pertaining to Fidelity customers."

     Fidelity also confirmed SSNs and driver's licenses were compromised in the data breach.
