Could you be one of those 40,000 consumer whose sensitive data was exposed (NOT Stolen)



Some 111GB of highly sensitive information including consumer credit histories has been exposed by the National Credit Federation as the result of yet another misconfigured Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 cloud storage bucket.


Although the leak affected only around 40,000 consumers, the data concerned is highly sensitive, including credit reports from the big three agencies — Equifax, Experian and TransUnion.


What is the most common response by organization- Add additional data/alert feed, Don't spend time filtering/prioritizing them, eventually ignore them (did it resolve the issue?).
