News broke this morning of a breach at SitusAMC – the ‘plumbing’ behind hundreds of banks\u2019 mortgage and real estate operations.

SitusAMC\u2019s role as a compliance and loan\u2011processing backbone means it holds vast troves of consumer data – including Social Security numbers. The incident underscores how even trusted third\u2011party providers can trigger crises that blindside banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In open finance ecosystems, where interconnectedness is the operating principle, one weak link can cascade risk across the entire sector. As this case shows, banks scramble, the F.B.I. investigates, and consumer confidence takes another beating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
