FedEx customer information exposed in data breach

An unsecured FedEx server was breached, exposing thousands of customers’ personal information, a prominent security research firm discovered earlier this month.

Package forwarding service Bongo International was acquired by FedEx in 2014 and now serves as a e-commerce service called FedEx Cross Border.

But an unsecured Amazon S3 server, according to the white hat research group Kromtech, was holding more than 100,000 scanned documents including passports, drivers licenses, and security IDs. The white hat group responsibly disclosed the breach.
