Figure Technology Reports Social-Engineering Data Breach, Begins Customer Notifications

Figure Technology, a Nasdaq-listed blockchain-based lender, confirmed a data breach on February 13, 2026, after attackers used social engineering to compromise an employee and access internal files, TechCrunch reports. The company is notifying affected individuals and offering free credit-monitoring services after leaked samples revealed personally identifiable information including full names, home addresses, dates of birth and phone numbers. ShinyHunters claimed responsibility on its dark-web leak site, stating it published roughly 2.5 gigabytes of data allegedly taken from Figure's systems after the company refused to pay a ransom. The breach follows Figure's September IPO, which raised about $787.5 million at $25 per share, and the January 2026 launch of its OPEN platform on the Provenance blockchain for issuing real shares on-chain and enabling direct lending of pledged equity.
