(update) IN: Computer Glitch Blamed For Credit Card Breach

Posted on May 19, 2009 by Dissent

As an update to a story reported previously here, The Indy Channel reports:

A credit card company said Tuesday that a computer glitch caused more than a hundred people’s statements to be posted online last week.

Constance Wilson, who lives in McCordsville, alerted CompuCredit after she logged in to pay her Aspire Visa card bill and instantly had access to 120 other statements from people in Indiana and 31 other states, Call 6’s Rafael Sanchez reported.

The Atlanta-based company said in a statement Tuesday that an internal investigation revealed a computer processing error made all of the statements into a single PDF, instead of 120 separate images, which allowed other users to see the statements.
