Figure Data Breach Exposes Nearly 1 Million Customers Online

Figure Data Breach Exposes Nearly 1 Million Customers Online

Figure is a Fintech lender. According to reporting by TechCrunch and subsequent analysis, 967,200 customer email records were compromised after a social engineering attack granted unauthorized access to Figure’s internal systems. 


Roughly 2.5 GB of data was posted online by ShinyHunters, suggesting a sizable internal data set. Because birth dates and home addresses are commonly used in identity verification across financial and telecom services, their exposure significantly increases the potential for misuse.
