The personal data of at least 100 million US citizens may have leaked into the public domain as a result of negligence by background check firm MC2 Data.
CyberNews reports that the company left 2.2 terabytes of Americans’ personal data without a password. They could have been accessed by anyone.
‘What was most likely a human error revealed 106.3 million records containing private information about US citizens,’ the material points out.
Earlier, Sergey Lipov, Director of Information Technology at EdgeCentre, in a conversation with RT, said that data privacy is becoming one of the key modern problems.
