The US Census Bureau says no personally identifiable information it collected was compromised in this week's Alteryx leak.
Data analytics firm Alteryx made headlines this week when UpGuard discovered a misconfigured Amazon Web Services S3 storage bucket exposed sensitive information of 123 million households. The leak exposed information from Experian and the US Census Bureau.
