The Capital One breach of 2019 was the largest single cloud security breach that had occurred at its time. In the breach, more than 100 million credit card applications were stolen by an ex-Amazon employee (Paige A. Thompson) who went by the Twitter handle (or alias) of “Erratic.” The credit card application data set that she stole contained 140,000 SSNs and 80,000 bank account numbers. Capital One estimated that the breach could cost over $300 million and was fined $80 million in 2020 by the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, a banking regulator. |
