The massive February 2019 data breach

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) wants to slap the former owner of the CafePress custom t-shirt and merchandise site with a $500,000 fine for failing to secure its users' data and attempting to cover up a significant data breach impacting millions.
As the consumer protection watchdog explained, CafePress' former owner, Residual Pumpkin Entity, stored its customers' Social Security numbers and password reset answers in plain text, and their data longer than necessary.
