FCC Settles with InfoTrax Systems for Failure to Secure Data of 1 Million Clients

Utah-based InfoTrax Systems, L.C. has settled with the FCC (Federal Trade Commission) for its failure to protect its data following a hack that exposed the data for 1 million clients. The company stored sensitive information on its servers, such as Social Security numbers, payment information, user names and passwords, and various bank information. The original hacker or others that had access to the data even logged into the websites of its clients. As part of the settlement, the company is no longer allowed to collect, sell, share, or store data on its clients until they implement a system to secure this information.”]
