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 (http://crossborder.fedex.com/us/assets/company/about_us.shtml).
But an unsecured Amazon S3 server, according to the white hat research group Kromtech (https://mackeepersecurity.com/post/fedex-customer-records-exposed), was holding more than 100,000 scanned documents including passports, drivers licenses, and security IDs. The white hat group responsibly disclosed the breach.
