Lender Security Breach Leaves 24 Million Homeowners Exposed
Lender Security Breach Leaves 24 Million Homeowners Private Information Exposed To Identity Thieves
A massive lender security breach has left the private information of 24 million homeowners exposed on the internet for two weeks.
TechCrunch is reporting that more than 24 million mortgage and banking documents were found online in an unprotected database.
The server had more than a decade’s worth of data. The data contained loan and mortgage agreements and other sensitive financial and tax documents.
TechCrunch reports that the database was only exposed for two weeks. However, that was long enough for independent security researcher Bob Diachenko to find the data.
The database contained mortgage and financial documents stretching back to at least 2008. The documents came from Citigroup, Wells Fargo, Capital One. The documents also include millions of loan information from HUD and FHA.
