Evolve has known their systems were compromised since late May. But it appears they didn't notify impacted fintechs (or end users) until the breach became public last week: [image]

As an Affirm Card user, we wanted to alert you of a recent cybersecurity incident at Evolve Bank and Trust, an issuing partner on the Affirm Card (not an originating bank partner for Affirm loans). [image]

Confirming that we were alerted to Evolve Bank's cyber incident late last night. Evolve issues the Affirm Card, so if you don't have one of those, you can ignore this. If you do, we are still investigating, but in short: - your Affirm account is safe - your Affirm card is

The fact that Evolve Bank & Trust is trying to silence a reporter rather than focus on the worst data and security breach in the history of American banking is incredibly damning.

I think one of the enduring legacies of the fintech boom of the last few years is that my SSN and license has now been exposed in so many breaches (more every day) that they are truly meaningless... thanks Evolve.

Brown, @tammybaldwin, @JohnFetterman and @RonWyden write to Scott Stafford, president and CEO of Evolve Bank and Trust, the partner bank to fintechs that has been entangled with Synapse. Roughly 200,000 fintech depositors have had no access to funds for over a month.

Just received a cease & desist from Evolve. If people misunderstood my posts to mean that I would share sensitive PII in my reporting, please know that was never my intent. I would not risk exacerbating what's already a difficult time. Also know I plan on continuing my [image]
