CBS had data leak during March Madness: Security firm

Jessica Golden reports:

CBS Sports may have exposed more than just your busted March Madness bracket.

Mobile data management and security firm Wandera said it found a data leak on the CBS Sports app and mobile website during the college basketball tournament, allowing user data to possibly be compromised.

CBS Sports denied any breach.
