A vulnerable server containing over 4,800 documents was compromised by a hacker who uses the handle @0x55Taylor.

Files that pertained to the staff such as medical expenses, vacations, vehicle certificates and time off were also included. Mexican authorities have declined to comment on the matter but have assured that they are taking the breach seriously.
