NCIX went bankrupt and sold everything at auction. But they also had an Off Site storage facility that they were renting, filled with over 500 computers and servers. The contents of the off site storage facility was given to the owner of the storage facility to pay for the back rent that was owed.
He sold the contents and who ever bought the stuff made multiple copies of the information on the servers and sold Hard Copies for $35,000 each to several Chinese based Companies. He got caught when he tried to sell additional DIGITAL copies for $15,000 each on the internet.
The contents of the servers included Names, Addresses, Phone numbers, Social Insurance (Social Security numbers) Credit card numbers and residential history.
This leak is very serious and concerning especially to EX NCIX Employees.
That's one hell of a fuck up eh?
