TRANSCREDIT DATA LEAK OVER 800,000 RECORDS OF CREDIT REPORTS

Security researcher Jeremiah Fowler together with the Website Planet research
team found an unsecured Transcredit data leak of 822,789 records of user
information.


TRANSCREDIT DATA LEAK

The database included data on truckers, transport companies, loans, repayment,
and debt collections, and other data specifically for the transportation
industry. This included banking information and tax ID numbers. Many of the Tax
IDs were consistent with what appeared to be Social Security Numbers stored in
plaintext.


DISCOVERED DATA

 * Total Records: 822,789. Internal records that include customers first and
   last names, emails, bank information, Tax ID numbers that appear to be SSN
   and EIN (Employer Identification Number). These individuals could be at risk
   of a targeted social engineering attack using insider information.
 * Detailed notes on collections, payment histories, new applicants, status and
   progress. References to “TransCredit” and “Transcore”
 * Internal Passwords and login IDs / Usernames, account numbers. We can only
   assume that these could be used to access the user portal. (We do not
   circumvent password protections or attempt to validate user credentials for
   ethical reasons).

The team says that TransCredit works similarly to traditional credit scores. The
company exists specifically for the transportation industry. It assigns a risk
assessment score that ranges from 0 to 99, with 0 being high risk and 99 being
the lowest risk. Once they apply a scoring system it gives an idea of risk for
both shipper, drivers, and transport companies. Some carriers rely on a scoring
system and disqualify shippers with a poor rating.

The team also says: “Although there were many references to TransCredit inside
the database and 600k “Credit Reports”, we did not receive a reply from anyone
at TransCredit verifying if the data did indeed belong to them. It is not clear
if this data was exposed by a contractor or a 3rd party who had access to these
reports, or if this was in fact TransCredit’s internal database?”
