The military’s Special Operations Command is investigating claims that it leaked sensitive data. Anyone who knew the IP address of the server could access the data without a password until Monday, when personnel secured it.
On Monday, SOCOM “initiated an investigation into information we were provided about a potential issue with the command’s Cloud service,” spokesman Ken McGraw said in an email to CNN on Tuesday.“The only other information we can confirm at this point is no one has hacked US Special Operations Command’s information systems,” McGraw said.
The mishap left the server without a password allowing anyone with internet access to locate the sensitive data using just a web browser. Anurag Sen, a security researcher, was the first person to identify the situation, TechCrunch reported.There were roughly three terabytes that became unprotected, most of which belonged to SOCOM, per Sen, who said he found the leak last Wednesday.
