Experian Connect API allows lenders to automate FICO-score queries. A researcher claims credit scores of almost every American were exposed through an API tool used by the Experian credit bureau. Experian says the leak was isolated to a single client and a vulnerability with the client s website. Security experts are concerned that other exposed Experian APIs might be sitting unprotected, just waiting to be exploited by cybercriminals. An Experian spokesperson told Threatpost that the leak did not compromise any of Experian’s systems.
