Figure Data Breach Exposes Nearly 1 Million Customer Records

Have I Been Pwned's analysis pegs the leak at roughly 967,000 exposed records, providing the first clear scale of the incident.

Overview

  • Troy Hunt’s Have I Been Pwned identified 967,200 unique email addresses in the dataset, alongside names, dates of birth, postal addresses, and phone numbers.
  • ShinyHunters claimed responsibility and published roughly 2.5GB of stolen Figure data on its leak site on February 13.
  • Figure says an employee was socially engineered, allowing access to a limited number of files, and attributes the intrusion to a credential-harvesting tactic.
  • The company reports it blocked the activity, engaged an external forensic firm, began notifications, and is offering complimentary credit monitoring to those alerted.
  • The breach surfaces during a sensitive period for the Nasdaq-listed lender following its IPO and a secondary stock offering process.
