Personal Information of 340 Million People and
Businesses Leaked By Florida Marketing Firm:
"A little-known, Florida-based marketing firm called Exactis may be responsible for a
significant amount of personal data being exposed. According to a report from Wired,
the firm left 340 million individual records on a publicly accessible server that any
person could have gotten ahold of.
The leak was discovered earlier this month by security researcher Vinny Troia, founder of
the New York-based security firm Night Lion Security. He reported his find to the FBI and
Exactis earlier this week, and while the company has since protected the data, it’s
unclear just how long it sat exposed.
So just how bad is the leak? It’s pretty bad! The data stored on the server amounts to
about two terabytes worth of personal information."
