The breach was due to a misconfigured server that exposed sensitive data online.
Customers of the municipal bond insurance company MBIA had their information exposed due to a server misconfiguration issue.
After being notified about the breach, the company disabled the vulnerable site, mbiaweb.com. The site contained customer data from Cutwater Asset Management, a fixed-income unit of MBIA set to be purchased by BNY Mellon Corp.
Cutwater Asset Management is an investment adviser specializing in fixed income investments. It has $23 billion of assets under management and ranks among the world's largest fixed-income asset managers. Clients include state and local governments and pension funds.
