Figure Technology Confirms Customer Data Breach After Social Engineering Attack
Figure Technology, a blockchain-based lending firm, has confirmed a data breach resulting from a social engineering attack. Hackers tricked an employee into providing access, leading to the theft of approximately 2.5 GB of customer data, including names, addresses, birth dates, and phone numbers. The group ShinyHunters claimed responsibility and released the data after the company refused to pay a ransom. No financial information or passwords were confirmed to be compromised. The company has launched an investigation, notified affected customers, and is offering free credit monitoring. Cybersecurity experts emphasize that such attacks target human vulnerabilities rather than technical flaws.
