The target: V Shred, a Las Vegas based fitness company which sells fitness plans, nutrition advice, and supplements.
The take: The combined Personally Identifiable Information of 99,000 of customers and potential clients including: names, home addresses, email addresses, dates of birth, usernames and passwords, age, gender, citizenship status, and user photos.
The attack vector: All of this information was hosted on a very common problem, an unsecured Amazon Web Services storage server accessible to the public online. However, in this case, anonymous users were also able to access the information without login credentials making the breach wider and deeper.
The exposed information could lead to highly sophisticated phishing attacks, and crucially, the user photos to identity theft. Credential management around publicly available company data is paramount to robust cybersecurity.
