The Target: Texas Department of Insurance.
The Take: 2 million records of Personally Identifiable Information affecting 1.8 million individuals were exposed, including: social security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, and worker injury information.
The Vector: A configuration error with an online web portal which manages worker’s compensation information was not properly secured, allowing members of the public to freely access pages of the site containing sensitive information.
This breach is a stark reminder of the importance of access control around public-facing web applications and the configuration of settings that control them. Sensitive information must be protected and ensuring proper authentication and credential management is being used is a key core of maintaining a robust cybersecurity posture.
