The breach, discovered on August 19, has impacted 77,009 customers of Fidelity Investments, exposing personal data without accessing actual account funds or information.
The Maine attorney general revealed that an unidentified hacker used two fake customer accounts to obtain sensitive customer details, highlighting vulnerabilities in data security.
Following a separate security notice, it was confirmed that unauthorized access was gained through false requests to an internal database at Fidelity Investments.
