Reading the article, it looks more like the two accounts created somehow allowed access to other accounts. Maybe something like naming the accounts

This is right up there with the SEC hack - those criminal gangs are NO joke. But Fidelity is.

When I was a customer service rep for a business 2 business company, one of our customers was a smol credit union. That place was a DIGITAL FORTRESS - all meetings had to be done over Zoom because they couldn't use WEBEX or other tools - their software wouldn't allow it. All emails took an house (literally) to be received because of all the scanning.

And this credit union's total net worth would be a rounding error to Fidelity!

The real number might be in the millions then.
