Just the other day , the New York Post outed Bloomberg reporters formonitoring Bloomberg terminals to track Wall Street traders ’ account . Now , the Financial Times has pointed out another gross but unrelated security trouble : apparentlymore than ten thousand confidential terminal records have been on the cyberspace — searchable by Google — probably for years .

While doing a bit of investigative Googling , the Financial Times stumbled across the records — one from an isolated Clarence Shepard Day Jr. in 2009 , on from a sidereal day in 2010 — which included thing like Bloomberg user identifiers , name , monger email address , financial price information , and trading natural action . As presently as the Financial Times starting asking around , the book were promptly taken down , but it attend like they ’d been out there for a while .
When inquire about the records , a Bloomberg spokesman told the Financial Times that the data had been willingly supplied by a client , and post with the purpose of helping that guest improve datum - mining . presumptively , none of it was ever supposed to be public , though . It ’s unclear if anyone trip upon these before the Financial Times did , but either manner , it looks bad for Bloomberg that they were just sitting out there . And more bad publicity is n’t what Bloomberg needs right now . [ Financial TimesviaThe Verge ]
