Posted On October 7, 2023 Consumer Privacy & Data Breaches
October 7 – The Sunflower Bank data breach lawyers at Console & Associates, P.C are investigating the data breach that was reported by FirstSun Capital Bancorp, the parent company of Sunflower Bank, Guardian Mortgage and First National 1870 (collectively, “Sunflower”) after the company was targeted in a recent cyber security attack. The Sunflower Bank data breach resulted in the sensitive information of certain individuals being compromised.
According to the Attorney General of California, Sunflower Bank reported a data breach after they were targeted in a recent cyber security attack. Sunflower Bank used the MOVEit software to securely transfer files. On or around May 31, 2023, Sunflower Bank was notified by Progress Software Corporation, the creator of MOVEit, of a previously unknown vulnerability in MOVEit. After Sunflower Bank was informed of the MOVEit vulnerability, it worked with Progress Software to implement all fixes to the software.
Sunflower Bank launched an investigation into the incident in hopes of learning what, if any, consumer data was affected by the MOVEit vulnerability. However, on July 14, 2023, the company explained in an official filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission that it believes “an unauthorized party likely took advantage of the flaw in the MOVEit software and downloaded copies of files [containing] personally identifiable information.” On September 27, 2023, Sunflower Bank sent out data breach letters to those individuals whose information was affected by the breach.
Sunflower Bank is a financial institution based in Denver, Colorado that operates dozens of branches in Colorado, New Mexico, Kansas, Texas, and Arizona and offers mortgages to customers in 43 states. Sunflower Bank is a wholly-owned subsidiary of FirstSun Capital Bancorp. Guardian Mortgage and First National 1870 are divisions of Sunflower Bank, N.A.
