You think your confidential info is collected and stored only by companies that you work with - You are wrong!!! - A company that you almost certainly never heard of ( exposed (2TB of) detailed personal information of 230 million consumers (you could be one of them) and 110 million business contacts.


Including phone numbers, addresses, dates of birth, estimated income, number of children, age and gender of children, education level, credit rating, interests and more.
In short, “pretty much every U.S. citizen” is included in the database.

Florida-based Exactis, a marketing and data aggregation firm that you almost certainly never heard of before the story made headlines courtesy of security researcher Vinny Troia.



Just ask Equifax, another company you probably never realised you had any relationship with, and yet knew an awful lot about you
