Mr. Cooper Cyber Security Incident
On November 2, 2023, Mr. Cooper Group Inc. announced that it was the target of a cyber security incident on October 31 that resulted in their shutting down certain systems as a precautionary measure. As a result, Fannie Mae did not receive loan activity reporting, which includes loan payoffs and payment corrections, from Mr. Cooper during the last few days of the reporting cycle related to October loan activity.
When servicers do not report loan activity to us, we distribute scheduled principal and interest to mortgage-backed securities (MBS) certificateholders. As a result, any prepayments that were received by Mr. Cooper but were not reported to us related to October loan activity will be distributed to MBS certificateholders on the first distribution date that follows our receipt and reconciliation of the required prepayment information from Mr. Cooper.
For questions, please contact the Fannie Mae Investor Help Line at 1-800-232-6643, Option 3, or by email.
