Woman Finds Credit Card Statements Unprotected Online

INDIANAPOLIS -- A major credit card company is investigating how more than a hundred statements were made available online after an Indiana woman alerted them to the problem.

Constance Wilson had logged in to pay her Aspire Visa card bill when she instantly had access to 120 other statements from people in Indiana and 31 other states, Call 6's Rafael Sanchez reported.

"I kind of got scared a little because I was thinking that if I had their information, then that means they probably have mine," she said.

When Wilson called CompuCredit, the Atlanta-based company that manages the Aspire card, they told her what she was describing wasn't possible.

Company officials changed their tune when Call 6 contacted them regarding the breach.

"We have initiated an immediate investigation into the incident and to determine its cause," the company said in a statement. "We take our customers’ privacy very seriously and regret any inconvenience this matter may have caused."

Shervonne Johnson, who lives outside Atlanta, said she was shocked when she learned from Call 6 that her information had been compromised.

"I was like, are you kidding me? I couldn't believe it," she said. "They have my Social Security number, they have my birthday. I mean, it's a possibility that they could have any information. It's like, how could this happen?"

As for Wilson, she said she's no longer using her Aspire card.

"No, I'm done with them anyway," she said. "That shows that they really don't value their customers if they're not taking you serious."

CompuCredit said it has temporarily suspended online access to account statements while they troubleshoot the security issue.
