(NewsNation) — A security breach Tuesday hit one of the larger companies that provides title insurance and settlement services for mortgage and real estate industries.
Fortune 500 company Fidelity National Financial (FNF) reported to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that it was the victim of a “cybersecurity incident that impacted certain FNF systems.”
“Among other containment measures, we blocked access to certain of our systems, which resulted in disruptions to our business,” a statement from FNF read in part.
According to FNF, an “unauthorized third party” accessed some of the company’s systems and “acquired certain credentials.”
