The nation\u2019s second largest title insurer<\/a>, First American<\/a><\/strong>, as well as some of its subsidiaries, remain offline as of Wednesday morning in the wake of the title firm\u2019s<\/a> Dec. 20 cybersecurity incident. The systems outage has derailed closings across the country over the holidays for homebuyers and sellers using the company’s title services in more than 2,000 locations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

First American announced the incident mid-day on Thursday<\/a>. On Friday, it notified clients that it had taken its email system offline and that recipients should be wary of any emails that come through from FirstAm.com. In addition, the title firm filed a document<\/a> with the Securities and Exchange Commission<\/a><\/strong> last Friday, stating that it was \u201cworking diligently\u201d to restore systems it had taken offline, but could not estimate \u201cthe duration or extent of the disruption at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The firm has been providing updates through a new website<\/a> it created. No new updates or filings have been shared since last Friday. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Homebuyers, sellers and appraisers have been responding to the company’s LinkedIn announcement on the cybersecurity incident, asking for clarification. One buyer commented: “We wired in full payment for a home that was supposed to close last week. Now our funds are not accessible and we are on track to miss our close date.” In another comment, a home seller said they had been waiting on disbursement for 6 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The First American Financial umbrella includes First American Title Insurance<\/strong> and First American Title Guaranty<\/strong>, as well as nearly two dozen subsidiaries. As of Wednesday morning, the websites for DataTrace<\/a><\/strong> and ACI<\/a><\/strong>, a valuation technology subsidiary, remained offline. However, ServiceMac<\/strong><\/a>, First American\u2019s mortgage servicer subsidiary, had come back online after being offline through Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This latest cybersecurity attack at First American is unrelated to the May 2019 cybersecurity incident, in which it was recently\u00a0asked to pay<\/a>\u00a0the\u00a0New York\u00a0Department of Financial Services<\/strong>\u00a0(DFS) $1 million as part of a\u00a0cybersecurity<\/a>\u00a0violation settlement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First American is not the only title firm to face a cybersecurity attack in recent months.  In late November, Fidelity National Financial <\/a><\/strong>became the victim of a ransomware attack<\/a> that took its systems offline for a few days. Ransomware gang AlphV\/BlackCat later claimed responsibility<\/a> for the attack. On Tuesday, mortgage subservicer<\/a> and FNF subsidiary Loancare<\/strong> informed authorities<\/a> that the data of about 1.3 million customers was compromised following the November cybersecurity attack.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
