Developing A hacker raided Capital One's cloud storage buckets and stole personal information on 106 million credit applicants in America and Canada.
The swiped data includes 140,000 US social security numbers and 80,000 bank account numbers, we're told, as well as one million Canadian social insurance numbers. The pilfered data was submitted to Capital One by credit card hopefuls between 2005 and early 2019. The info was siphoned between March this year and July 17, and the intrusion was detected by Capital One on July 19, we've learned.
