33 million records from government departments and large corporate clients exposed by business services company

Synopsis

In March 2017, the giant business services company discovered its marketing database containing over 33 million corporate contacts shared across the web.

The contacts that had information leaked were from organizations like the US Department of Defense, US Postal Service, AT&T, WalMart and CVS Health. The database may have included full names, work email addresses, phone numbers and other business-related data.

The company claimed its systems were not breached but that it has sold the database to thousands of companies so it’s unclear which of those businesses suffered the breach that exposed the records.
