Robinhood has been fined $45 million by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for multiple violations, including failing to protect customer data, improper employee communication practices, and bookkeeping errors. These violations occurred between 2019 and 2023 and included a significant data breach in November 2021. This fine adds to previous penalties totaling $135 million in recent years for similar issues. Robinhood's senior legal counsel indicated that these matters are largely historical and have been rectified. The firm's market capitalization is currently $35 billion.
