Bethpage Federal Credit Union details data breach

Posted on June 12, 2012 by Dissent

Human error strikes again. Claude Solnik reports:

Bethpage Federal Credit Union on Tuesday said personal information of 86,000 consumer VISA debit card accounts had been exposed on the Internet.

The company said an employee on May 3 posted data on a file transfer protocol site that the employee believed to be secure. But Bethpage Federal later found the data could be accessed through search engines.

It removed the data on June 3 – one month later – once it became aware of the breach and sent out emails on Monday informing those affected.

[…]

Data posted on the site for consumer VISA debit cards included names, addresses, birth dates, card expiration dates as well as checking and savings account numbers.
