A company used by thousands of U.S. state and local governments to accept online payments, has leaked more than 14 million customer records.
It includes names, addresses, phone numbers and the last four digits of the payer’s credit card
The company has no indication that any improperly accessed information was used to harm any customer, and receipts do not contain information that can be used to initiate a financial transaction.
