Expert Commentary: Hacker Posts 1.9 Million Pixlr User Records For Free On Forum

Businesses should invest in a cloud governance platform that provides holistic, real-time observability into the cloud landscape.

Improperly secured AWS S3 buckets are one of the leading causes of data breaches due to misconfiguration. The chances of leaving an S3 bucket exposed are all too high, as inexperienced users can simply choose the "all users" access option, making the bucket publicly accessible. Leaving these S3 buckets open and exposed invites hackers to exploit the personal data entrusted to companies by their customers.

Improperly secured AWS S3 buckets are one of the leading causes of data breaches due to misconfiguration. The chances of leaving an S3 bucket exposed are all too high, as inexperienced users can simply choose the "all users" access option, making the bucket publicly accessible. Leaving these S3 buckets open and exposed invites hackers to exploit the personal data entrusted to companies by their customers.

 

To prevent incidents like this from occurring, awareness within the cloud environment is imperative. Businesses should invest in a cloud governance platform that provides holistic, real-time observability into the cloud landscape to stay apprised of abnormalities while ensuring that data is secure. With comprehensive visibility and the ability to remediate issues before they can be exploited, companies can ensure security for themselves and their customers.

Expert Commentary: Chinese Data-Scraping Startup Leaked Its 408 GB Database Online

A platform that provides a holistic view into the cloud landscape minimizes the potential attack surface.

Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook are three major social media platforms containing a plethora of user data, and this incident underscores the perils of data scraping without proper security. Since personally identifiable information was found bundled together with commonalities between profiles, it amplifies the risk of this data being abused by hackers and scammers. For example, for some individuals impacted, there is more than enough information exposed for bad actors to launch highly

Instagram, LinkedIn, and Facebook are three major social media platforms containing a plethora of user data, and this incident underscores the perils of data scraping without proper security. Since personally identifiable information was found bundled together with commonalities between profiles, it amplifies the risk of this data being abused by hackers and scammers. For example, for some individuals impacted, there is more than enough information exposed for bad actors to launch highly targeted phishing attacks.

 

Leaving a database like this exposed without password protection is often the result of improper security and access management policies or failure to enforce those policies. To prevent incidents like this from occurring, organizations must implement a comprehensive set of security tools that monitor and control security status in real-time. A platform that provides a holistic view into the cloud landscape minimizes the potential attack surface, shares security and access alerts in real-time, and avoids devastating misconfigurations that put sensitive data at risk.
