Your personal data isn't just for sale on the Internet. It's also being given away for free.
Share to twitterData sleuth extraordinaire Bob Diachenko is at it again. His latest discovery: a collection of profiles that contained detailed information on a staggering 1.2 billion individuals.was traced back to an unsecured Elasticsearch server. Information stored in the database appeared to belong to two different companies, both of which operate completely legitimate data aggregation businesses.
Diachenko and his colleague Vinny Troia compared samples from the exposed data to profiles provided by both PDL and Oxydata. Both were nearly perfect matches. The researchers contacted both companies and both claimed that the server leaking the database did not belong to them. Assuming that’s true, that makes this leak even more alarming.
