On July 29, 2019, post-market, Capital One disclosed that it had suffered a massive data breach, reporting that an outside hacker had obtained the personal data of more than 100 million customers and credit card applicants.  On this news, Capital One's stock price fell sharply during intraday trading on July 30, 2019.

On August 15, 2019, The Wall Street Journal reported that before the massive data breach, "employees raised concerns within the company about what they saw as high turnover in its cybersecurity unit and a failure to promptly install some software to help spot and defend against hacks, according to people familiar with the matter."
