In the data breach, more than 100 million credit applications were accessed by malicious actors. The office said that Capital One deserved credit for its victim notification and remediation actions following the breach.
In addition to the fine, Capital One agreed to submit to an internal audit of the firms risk management program. The company also agreed to enhance its cybersecurity defenses and submit an outline of its plans for improvement to the Federal Reserve within 90 days.
