At the end of June, the LockBit gang announced<\/a> that it had breached the systems of the Federal Reserve of the United States and exfiltrated 33 TB of sensitive data, including \u201cAmericans\u2019 banking secrets.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEvolve Bank & Trust is making retail bank customers and financial technology partners\u2019 customers (end users) aware of a cybersecurity incident that may involve certain personal information, as well as the actions we have taken in response, and additional steps individuals may take.\u201d reads the notice<\/strong><\/a> of Cybersecurity Incident. \u201cEvolve is currently investigating a cybersecurity incident involving a known cybercriminal organization that appears to have illegally obtained and released on the dark web the data and personal information of some Evolve retail bank customers and financial technology partners\u2019 customers (end users). We take this matter extremely seriously and are working diligently to address the situation.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Evolve has identified no new unauthorized activity on its network since May 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“On May 29, 2024, Evolve identified that some of its systems were not working properly. While it initially appeared to be a hardware failure, we subsequently learned it was unauthorized activity. Evolve promptly initiated its incident response processes and stopped the attack. No new unauthorized activity on Evolve\u2019s systems has been identified since May 31, 2024.” reads the data breach notification<\/a>. “An investigation with assistance from a cybersecurity firm was initiated to investigate what happened and what data may have been impacted. Evolve also notified law enforcement and worked to add further protections to harden its systems. What personal information was involved? There is no evidence that the threat actors accessed any customer funds, but it appears the threat actors did access and download customer information”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
Last week, Fintech firms Wise and Affirm confirmed<\/a> they were both impacted by the Evolve Bank security breach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
