Personal Data Thrown in the Dumpster
The financial information and social security numbers of hundreds of inhabitants of Flint, USA, have been found in a dumpster. Customers of the Affordable Realty entrusted these private details to the realty mortgage company. When Affordable Realty was evicted from the building where their office was location, company representatives thought the best place to get rid of the data would be the nearest dumpster.
ABC12 News has video record of the incident, along with some text comments. Let’s hope the company is properly held responsible in order to prevent similar future incidents.
