Fidelity Investments informed 77,099 individuals of a data breach, stating no access to accounts occurred and offering credit monitoring services to affected customers.
The breach, which took place from August 17 to 19, involved unauthorized access to certain information using recently established customer accounts, but the exact data stolen remains undisclosed.
Fidelity took immediate action upon discovering the breach on August 19, employing an external security firm to investigate and ensuring customers that their security responsibilities are prioritized.
The firm, managing over $5.5 trillion in customer assets, emphasized that only a small subset of their customers was affected, and they are not aware of any misuse of the data.
