Block

A former employee of Block formerly known as Square downloaded reports from its Cash App containing some U.S. customer information.

The report contained the information regarding the users’ full names and brokerage account numbers, brokerage portfolio value, brokerage portfolio holdings, and stock trading activity for one trading day.

The employee always had regular access to these reports as part of their past job responsibilities but these reports were accessed without permission after their employment ended.

The company immediately launched an investigation to know the extent of the breach.
