Vietnamese criminals pretending to be U.S.-based private investigators duped Experian into selling them the private data of users, according to reports. Experian reportedly leaked social security numbers, driver's license numbers, bank account, credit card data and birthdates of what might be millions of Americans to the online criminals. The fraudsters resold the data to other sites including Superget.info.
