Kreditech was compromised last November after hackers posted the personal and financial records of thousands users. Though deemed an "isolated" incident by the company, according to the hackers there was no real security
Micro-loan startup Kreditech is investigating a November 2014 data breach that resulted in hackers posting the personal and financial records of thousands of applicants online, Krebs on Security reported on Tuesday (March 24). A spokesperson for Kreditech confirmed the breach, which she called an “isolated internal security incident,” and said that it only affected applicants. “There is no access to any customer data,” Kreditech head of communications Anna Friedrich said. “This incident stemmed from a form on our website that was stored data in a caching system that deleted data every few days. What happened was that a subset of application data was affected. We are collaborating with the police, but unfortunately there is no more further information that I have to share.”
