A cyberattack on bank vendor Marquis Software exposed personal and financial information for 672,075 people, with investigators saying hackers copied files from the vendor’s systems after a breach discovered on August 14. Although Marquis initially identified 74 affected financial institutions, aggregated state filings and third-party analyses put the likely victim count between about 788,000 and 1.35 million, and a now-deleted notice suggested Marquis may have paid a ransom. #MarquisSoftware #Community1stCreditUnion
