Caixa insurer breach exposes data of all 7.6 million Brazilian customers

Original: Brazil's Caixa insurer breach exposes names and tax IDs of all 7.6M customers

A breach at Caixa Seguridade, the insurance arm of Brazil's state-owned Caixa bank, has exposed the names and tax ID numbers of all 7.6 million of its customers. The scale of the leak — every customer affected rather than a subset — is drawing attention to data protection practices at one of Brazil's largest financial institutions, and to the risks of centralized customer databases.

Why now: The sheer scale of the breach, affecting every one of the insurer's 7.6 million customers, makes it a major data security story in Brazil and beyond.
