Lucas123 writes "Bank of New York Mellon Corp. admitted today that a box of unencrypted data storage tapes holding personal information of more than 4.5 million customers was lost more than three months ago by transport vendor Archive America while taking them to an off-site facility. The data on the tapes includes names, birth dates, Social Security numbers, and other information from customers of BNY Mellon and the People's United Bank in Bridgeport, Conn. 'We'd like to provide people with a more current characterization [of what happened], but we are not yet in a position to make that available,' said BNY Mellon spokesman Ron Sommer."
