A defunct payment gateway has exposed as many as 19,000 credit card numbers

The discovery by a local IT industry worker was made by mistake and 
appears to be caused by a known issue with the Google search engine, in

remain cached and available to anyone.

The cached data, viewed by iTnews, includes 22,000 credit card numbers,

The credit card numbers are for accounts held with Visa, Mastercard, 
American Express, Solo, Switch, Delta and Maestro/Cirrus.
