Another CU privacy mis-step
In the wake of the Priority One mistake (here and here) it looks like Jax Federal Credit Union had a little mistake as well. It seems that they had a little problem with their printing vendor and the transmission of statements on their site wasn’t encrypted. Google managed to index all of the sensitive info in the process. Here’s the press coverage.
Much bigger blunder by Jax compared to the P1 mail misprint.
Inexcusable.
If you don’t want google to index your site use Robots.txt
The bigger issue is that for Google to find these they have to be publically available on the internet… why were they there in the first place?
