California auto loan firm exposed up to 1 million records online that contained names, addresses and Social Security numbers. The data comes from Alliance Direct Lending, which specializes in refinancing auto loans at a lower interest rate. The number of consumer details leaked ranges between 550,000 up to a million. The company has since taken the data offline, a security researcher says. It’s unclear if anyone other than security researchers accessed the data or how long the data was exposed, he writes. The danger of this information being leaked is that cybercriminals would have enough to engage in identity theft, he says.”]
