The New York State Department of Financial Services recently alleged that First American Title Insurance Company persistently failed to safeguard highly-sensitive customer information. This failure led to the public exposure of over 800 million customer records dating back to 2003, through which many innocent customers unknowingly had their Social Security numbers, bank account numbers, tax records, and other highly-sensitive private information leaked to the public. Data leaks are serious, and when they happen to a company the size of First American Title, it needs to be reported in a timely manner to avoid repercussions for the victims. When companies don’t act promptly, they can be held liable for the damage they cause.
If you obtained title insurance in connection with the purchase of your home from First American Title from 2003 to 2018, you may very well be a victim of this data leak. Morgan & Morgan is serving arbitration demands to hold First American Title accountable for their wrongful actions.
