Figure (FIGR) confirms customer data breach after employee was socially engineered; ShinyHunters claims 2.5 GB, says Figure declined ransom
first published 2026-02-14T00:04:45Z
Figure Technology said an employee was socially engineered, allowing an actor to download a limited set of files. The hacking group ShinyHunters claimed responsibility and said it published 2.5 GB of data; TechCrunch reviewed files that allegedly included full names, home addresses, dates of birth and phone numbers. Figure said it blocked the activity, retained a forensic firm, is notifying affected parties, and is offering complimentary credit monitoring. The breach was linked to a broader campaign targeting Okta single sign-on and comes as Figure — which went public in Sept. 2025 under ticker FIGR — announced a proposed secondary offering and share repurchase plan.
