Frequent Security Breaches at Financial Planning Institutions

Colleen MacFarlane

Last week, Fidelity Investments disclosed that personal details for more than 77,000 customers had been compromised in August, including Social Security Numbers, driver’s license information, and other sensitive data. And that was far from being the only recent case of a widespread data breach in the US. Other financial services companies, including TIAA, J.P. Morgan, and Interactive Brokers have also reported data breaches this year.

There have been about one billion stolen records so far this year, according to report this week from TechCrunch, and indications are that data breaches in 2024 could surpass the high seen last year. A big part of that is due to National Public Data being hacked earlier this year, resulting in hundreds of millions of Social Security Numbers being stolen. Massive data breaches have also affected AT&T customers and people whose medical claims were processed by Change Health.
