Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (“FNF” or the “Company”) recently became aware of a cybersecurity incident that impacted certain FNF systems. FNF promptly commenced an investigation, retained leading experts to assist the Company, notified law enforcement authorities, and implemented certain measures to assess and contain the incident. Among other containment measures, we blocked access to certain of our systems, which resulted in disruptions to our business. For example, the services we provide related to title insurance, escrow and other title-related services, mortgage transaction services, and technology to the real estate and mortgage industries, have been affected by these measures. Our majority-owned subsidiary, F&G Annuities & Life, a leading provider of insurance solutions, was not impacted by the incident.
Based on our investigation to date, FNF has determined that an unauthorized third party accessed certain FNF systems and acquired certain credentials. The investigation remains ongoing at this time.
FNF will continue to assess the impact of the incident and whether the incident may have a material impact on the Company.
We are working diligently to address the incident and to restore normal operations as quickly and safely as possible.
