Cash App

The customer data of about 8.2 million past and present customers of the Cash App was compromised in a data breach incident by a former employee recently.

The compromised data included brokerage portfolio values and account numbers, Social Security numbers, birthdays, payment card info, and most other personal information of the customers.

The company immediately took action and blocked the employee's access and informed the targeted customers to be alerted.
