Boston, MA, October 23, 2024 –Major data breach hits MassMutual subsidiary, exposing client info.
A data breach at MML Investors Services LLC, a subsidiary of MassMutual, has exposed sensitive client information. The incident occurred between August 17 and August 19, 2024, when an unauthorized party accessed data through two newly opened Fidelity brokerage accounts.
The breach was detected by National Financial Services LLC (NFS), which provides clearing services for MML. NFS immediately terminated the unauthorized access and enlisted cybersecurity experts to investigate the scope of the breach.
Our priority is the safety and confidentiality of our clients' information. We took swift action to mitigate the impact and launched a comprehensive investigation.

This breach is a wake-up call for financial firms to bolster their data security protocols. Clients trust these institutions with their most sensitive information, and breaches like this erode that trust.
The breach has heightened concerns about cybersecurity across financial services. NFS, a Fidelity Investments subsidiary, continues to work with authorities and cybersecurity experts to prevent future incidents.
