Hackers posted employee data and private documents belonging to Goldcorp, a publicly listed gold-mining company, on a paste site, according to a report in the Daily Dot.

The massive data dump includes a wealth of employee and company data, including payroll information (including W-2 and T4 forms), bank account, wire transfer, and market securities information. The sample of data on the paste site – which contained the equivalent of 14.8 gigabytes of data – included budget documents from the past four years, emails about compensation, proprietary information, bank account information, budget information, employee directories and contact information (including employee names, titles, office locations, cell phone numbers, and email addresses).
