Explanatory Note
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (this “Current Report”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Fidelity National Financial, Inc. (the “Company,” “FNF,” “we” or “our”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on November 21, 2023, as amended on November 30, 2023 (the “Original Report”).
| Item 8.01. | Other Events. | |||||||
On November 19, 2023, the Company became aware of a cybersecurity incident that impacted certain of our systems. We promptly commenced an investigation, retained leading experts to assist the Company, notified law enforcement authorities, regulatory authorities and other stakeholders and followed our incident response plans. In addition, we took containment measures such as blocking access to certain of our systems resulting in varying levels of disruption to our businesses. The incident was contained on November 26, 2023. The systems used by the Company to provide services have been restored.
We completed our forensic investigation on December 13, 2023. We determined that an unauthorized third-party accessed certain FNF systems, deployed a type of malware that is not self-propagating, and exfiltrated certain data. The Company has no evidence that any customer-owned system was directly impacted in the incident, and no customer has reported that this has occurred. The last confirmed date of unauthorized third-party activity in the Company’s network occurred on November 20, 2023.
The Company has identified and analyzed the nature and scope of the affected systems and data. The Company has notified its affected customers and applicable state attorneys general and regulators, and approximately 1.3 million potentially impacted consumers; is providing credit monitoring, web monitoring, and identity theft restoration services; and is fielding questions from consumers.
The Company is continuing to coordinate with law enforcement, its customers, regulators, advisors and other stakeholders. FNF has been named as a defendant in several lawsuits related to this incident. The Company will vigorously defend itself against any litigation filed related to the incident.
At this time, we do not believe that the incident will have a material impact on the Company.
