If you’re one of the 117 million people who’ve shopped at Radio Shack in recent years, your data is up for auction on Thursday.
This isn’t a few hackers trying to cash in. It’s the bankrupt electronics retailer trying to raise money to pay off creditors.
As part of its bankruptcy auction process, RadioShack is auctioning off its customer data, which includes personally identifiable information on those 117 million customers. But attorneys general of several states, including RadioShack’s home state of Texas, have filed objections to the auction, saying it violates the promises RadioShack made to its customers before its bankruptcy.
