The target: FastTrack Reflex Recruitment, a U.K based online recruitment firm.
The take: Exposure of 20,000 records of personally identifiable information including: email addresses, home addresses, full names, phone numbers, dates of birth, and passport photos.
The attack vector: The information was exposed due to a misconfigured cloud storage account, allowing anyone with an internet connection to access and download a full copy of the details.
Leaving databases exposed to the internet without any credential management impacts its confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Taking the stance of using industry standard practices of password length, complexity, two-factor authentication, and email verification, will raise the level of protection needed for sensitive information.
