UK-based Finastra confirms a hacker accessed its Secure File Transfer Platform, which is used to send files to certain customers.
A hacker may have stolen as much as 400GB from Finastra, a financial software provider that serves 90 of the top 100 banks.
UK-based Finastra confirmed the breach today, saying it had detected suspicious activity on “an internally hosted Secure File Transfer Platform (SFTP) we use to send files to certain customers.”
“We immediately launched an investigation alongside of a third-party cybersecurity firm and, as a precautionary step, isolated and contained the platform,” the company said in an email. “This incident was limited to the one platform and there was no lateral movement beyond it.
