Finastra Data Breach Class Action

At Console & Associates, our data breach lawyers are closely examining the recent Finastra data breach. This data breach was disclosed following a cyber security incident at Finastra, which resulted in unauthorized access to consumers' sensitive personal information, including names and financial account details.

What Happened?

A recent report with the Massachusetts Attorney General's office stated that Finastra experienced a cybersecurity incident that compromised their network security. The data breach was initially detected on November 7, 2024, when the company discovered unauthorized activity disrupting their network operations.

Further investigation revealed that unauthorized actors had gained access to Finastra's Secure File Transfer Platform (SFTP) between October 31, 2024, and November 8, 2024. This platform, which was used for providing technical support to customers, contained sensitive consumer information that was subsequently exposed during the breach.

Following a thorough review of the compromised files, Finastra confirmed that consumer names and financial account information were among the exposed data. The company began notifying affected individuals through data breach letters on February 12, 2025, detailing the specific information that may have been compromised in each case.
