Expert discovered online data belonging to the trading firm AMP

Security expert Chris Vickery reported a data breach at online trading firm AMP that exposed customer credit reports, and Social Security numbers. The data leak was caused by a misconfigured backup device managed by a third-party IT vendor. AMP is a Chicago-firm based firm that operates many platforms for online futures trading. The files indicate that AMP has over $50 million on the books and additionally include the private details of over 10,000 account applicants. Such kind of incidents are unfortunately very common, Vickery has discovered similar data leaks online.”]
