The target: Razer, an American-based maker of computer accessories and peripherals.
The take: 100,000 records of Personally Identifiable Information including: full name, email, phone number, internal customer ID, order number, billing and shipping address
The attack vector: The data was left unsecured due to a misconfiguration on an Elasticsearch server without any protection or credential management, leaving the information open to be downloaded by anyone with an internet connection.
The information exposed poses great risk for Razer’s customers as social engineering attacks, such as fraud and phishing, could easily be crafted with precision by bad actors because of the leaked personally identifiable data. This breach highlights the critical importance of not only proper and secure configurations of storage where sensitive information is held, but also strict and robust policy around access and security.
