Company Detected Years-Long Breach Only After Hacker Maxed Out Servers’ Storage

Utah-based technology company InfoTrax Systems was breached more than 20 times from May 2014 to March 2016. The FTC sued the company for failing to safeguard the personal information the company maintained on behalf of its clients. The company discovered the breach on March 7, 2016, when it began receiving alerts that one of its servers had reached its maximum storage capacity due to a massive data archive file that the hacker created on its customers. The stolen information included customers’ full names, social security numbers, physical addresses, email addresses, telephone numbers, and usernames.
