Blockbuster Store Exposes Customer Data

On October 9, 2005, Tracy Connor of the New York Daily News reported that a recently vacated Blockbuster store in New York City left hundreds of unshredded customer records within easy reach of the general public.

The discarded records, left in clear garbage bags on a busy sidewalk, included such sensitive information as credit card numbers, expiration dates, Social Security numbers, birth dates, home addresses, phone numbers, driver's license numbers, and signatures. The information would have been devastating in the hands of an identity thief.
