In today’s top story, Fidelity National Financial confirms it was the victim of a cybersecurity incident. Lorenzo reports the title insurance and settlement services company shut down its network and told the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that it was launching an investigation. Read more.

Meanwhile, days later, it looks like all will be right in the OpenAI world. Manish writes that Sam Altman will return as CEO. And let’s give you something to talk about around the Thanksgiving dinner table, or not, as Amanda writes. Kyle covers the makeup of OpenAI’s initial new board, while Darrell writes that all of this chaos could result in a more unified OpenAI. Over on TechCrunch+, Alex tells you who wielded the better weapon in the AI fight and Haje goes over why you can’t lie to your board.

And if you’re a woman on social media who has ever had a response from a random “reply guy,” then you know the pesky problem that Mastodon is tackling with a new feature. Don’t talk to strangers.
