Bank of America said a third -party 'data destruction vendor' was to blame for the breach.

Names, account details, addresses, contact information, date of birth, social security numbers, and other government IDs were all exposed when documents were left outside in an unsealed container.

The bank still hasn't revealed how many customers have been affected by the data breach.
