Yeah, I saw a few boarding passes, too. A malicious person could probably do some real damage with that info.
Cool, I just went browsing through @expensify's jobs on MTurk. found boarding passes, hotel receipts (name, dates, details), medical receipts, addresses, signatures, and a whole lot of burgers and burritos.
I also just turned off SmartScan, because that's super creepy.https://twitter.com/Rochelle/status/933515448741535744 …

Seriously, awesome work on finding this. I'm not excited about trusting my personal info to a company that does this, and has no security team contact that I could find.

Just a reminder that they bravely fire peoplehttps://twitter.com/austinhutchison/status/854541046906322944 …

In fairness, they probably should.

Guaranteed this was a panic reaction to OCR performing much worse than expected after a product launch that didn't get enough testing first

This must be one of the security benefits of the cloud we hear so much about.

Please, tell us how you would crowd source the inputting of millions of receipts without them ever leaving your computer?
-
You wouldn't crowdsource it. You either OCR, handle it in-house (with bonded employees), or throw an error and have the user input it. You certainly wouldn't just post raw receipt data on MTurk.
-
Cloud is fine. Posting raw receipts, publicly visible, onto MTurk queues is not.
-
The problem here is that “cloud” makes this kind of behavior opaque to the customer.
-
This has nothing to do with "the cloud" unless your definition of "the cloud" is basically any business practice that makes you personally angry
