Ford’s Data Fiasco: When Your Info Costs Less Than a Cup of Coffee
Ford is investigating a data breach after a hacker leaked 44,000 customer records on BreachForums. The records include names and purchase details, but aren’t extremely sensitive. Offered at only eight credits, or about $2, they’d cost less than a cup of coffee—just don’t expect these records to come with a latte.
Hot Take:
Looks like Ford’s customer data took an unauthorized joyride, and now it’s parked on a hacker forum, all for the low, low price of eight credits! Who knew your personal information was cheaper than a latte?
