Blippy Credit-Card Data Was on Google for Three Months
Some members of the social-purchasing site Blippy have gotten more than they bargained for. As recently as late last week, there are reports that credit-card numbers of several users were found in a Google search of that site.
When the search term "site:blippy.com + outstanding" was entered into Google, the credit-card numbers and recent purchases of some Blippy members showed up. On the site, members register their credit-card number, and nonconfidential information is then made available to designated friends, automatically showing what you're buying.
"Blippy is a fun and easy way to see and discuss what everyone is buying," the web site proclaims.
