Wow, surprised this isn't blowing up more. Leaking form 1040s is egregious, let alone getting them indexed by Google...

I want to believe that it's people keeping mum until it's fixed so that the leaked PII isn't spread more widely, minimize the risk of bad actors scraping it all.

Once the leak is plugged, I would hope that Fiverr gets absolutely raked over the coals, this is egregious.

  • I wouldn’t be surprised if someone wrote a script to pull all the sensitive PII and it’s already on the dark net hacking forums for identity thieves. Freeze your credit at all bureaus if you ever used this site.

      People should always have their credit frozen no matter what. It's free and only takes a few minutes to unfreeze when you need to apply for credit

      Yes it's a little bit inconvenient but so is suddenly having a car, insurance, and several iPhones in your name when somebody steals your identity...
