As the festive season approaches, an estimated millions of Americans may find their Christmas at risk after a shocking data breach exposed 5 million unique credit and debit card details online
The Leakd.com security team has discovered that 5 terabytes of sensitive screenshots were exposed on an unsecured Amazon S3 bucket, a cloud storage service provided by Amazon Web Services. These screenshots often featured unsuspecting users entering sensitive details into "too-good-to-be-true" promotional forms for fake offers, like free iPhones or heavily discounted holiday gifts.
While it’s unknown how long this data has been online, it’s now threatening to disrupt the holiday shopping season for potential victims as well.
