Fedex bought a company that stored 119,000 pieces of scanned customer IDs in a public Amazon cloud server, shut the company down, left the scans online for anyone to download

Fedex says this is OK because if someone stole this data, they did so without leaving a trail that Fedex can find.

What is this “trail,” anyway? There’s always a trail in the movies, or “fingerprints.” If I was in the business of downloading fullz, I don’t think I would drop an Ace of Spades at the crime scene, just to taunt the police.
