The personal information of 44,000 Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) customers has been breached by a former employee, who left the agency carrying the data on a personal storage device.
In an internal memorandum from the FDIC’s chief information officer to its chief privacy officer,obtained by the Washington Post, it was revealed that the breach occurred back in February, when the data was downloaded “inadvertently and without malicious intent” by the former employee.
