Bank of America was hit with another security issue recently, that resulted in private information on customers being leaked, including Social Security numbers, the Daily Mail reported on Monday.

The bank announced in January that a leak impacted 414 customers last October, after a third-party software company allowed someone to gain access to the private information of customers in Maine.

The bank did not reveal how many customers were impacted by the latest security breach. But names, account details, addresses, contact information, date of birth, Social Security numbers and other government IDs of customers were all exposed when documents were left outside in an unsealed container. 

Bank of America said a third-party data company was responsible for the failure. The company had been hired to pick up documents from an unnamed financial center in December and take them to be shredded for security purposes.

"Some documents were found outside of the secure containers on the exterior of the financial center," the bank said in a statement. 

Bank of America currently provides financial services for 69 million U.S. consumers and small businesses.
