885 Million Records Exposed Online: Bank Transactions, Social Security Numbers,

S-F · May 25, 2019

WTF!? I almost posted some kind of yawn comment. It's gotten to the point where this is just business as usual.

"Several million records said to include bank account details, Social Security digits, wire transactions, and other mortgage paperwork, were found publicly accessible on the server of a major U.S. financial service company."

"Ben Shoval, a real-estate developer, reportedly discovered the files online and notified security reporter Brian Krebs. Krebs said that he contacted the server’s owner, First American Corporation, prior to reporting the incident."

Security, privacy and confidentiality are of the highest priority, and we are committed to protecting our customers’ information,” the company said.

Uh....yeah....I'm gonna have to disagree with this here

If this is how they handle the highest priority stuff, the rest of the company must really suck.

Not all IT are security experts too.
