Massive Data Breach: Gift Card Store Exposed Hundreds of Thousands of Identity Documents
MyGiftCardSupply, a U.S. online gift card retailer, inadvertently exposed over 600,000 customer identity documents, including driving licenses and passports, due to a publicly accessible storage server. Discovered by a security researcher, the breach raised concerns about the company's compliance with anti-money laundering regulations. Despite the founder confirming the issue and securing the server, it remains unclear how long the sensitive data was exposed or if affected customers will be notified. This incident highlights ongoing vulnerabilities in Know Your Customer (KYC) processes across various industries.
