As analyzed by BleepingComputer, the leaked sample data set of 10,000 records exposes full American Express account (credit card) numbers and customers' personally identifiable information (PII) including name, full address, phone numbers, date of birth, gender, etc.

However, BleepingComputer did not see credit card expiration dates, passwords, or overly sensitive financial data in the posted spreadsheet that could enable misuse of the credit cards in fraudulent transactions.

American Express neither denied nor admitted that they had suffered a data breach, but shared that all Amex cardholders are not liable for fraudulent charges.

"We are aware of the report and are closely monitoring the situation. We do not have anything further to share at this time."
