"First American December Data Breach Impacts 44,000 People"

​First American Financial Corporation, the second-largest title insurance company in the United States, recently revealed that a December cyberattack led to a breach impacting 44,000 individuals.  On December 21, 2023, the company provided very few details regarding the nature of the incident and was forced to take some of its systems offline to contain the impact of the cyberattack.  Five months later, the title insurance provider disclosed in a filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) that an investigation into the incident found the attackers gained access to some of its systems and were able to access sensitive data.  The company did not disclose what information was accessed.  The Brach in December occurred, just after the company agreed to pay a $1 million penalty to New York State for violating its cybersecurity regulations after exposing personal and financial data in a May 2019 security breach.
