A misconfigured cloud storage bucket has exposed the personal details of hundreds of social media influencers, potentially putting them at risk of fraud and harassment, according to researchers.
A team at vpnMentor discovered the AWS S3 bucket wide open with no encryption or password protection, back in early November. Action has apparently yet to be taken by the company responsible, Barcelona-based “social commerce” company 21 Buttons.
For a commission, influencers upload their photos to the firm’s app and link to the e-commerce stores where users can buy the clothes they’re wearing.
According to vpnMentor, the firm has around two million monthly active users and partnerships with many of the biggest brands in Europe.
Of the 50 million files exposed in the snafu, which were mainly influencer photos and videos, the research team discovered hundreds of invoices said to relate to payments made to these social media stars.

About 30,000 customers of Now:Pensions face an anxious Christmas after a serious data breach at the pensions provider led to their sensitive personal details being posted on the internet.
In an email sent to affected customers, the workplace pensions firm warned that names, postal and email addresses, birth dates and National Insurance numbers all appeared in a public forum online.
The company, which manages auto-enrolled and other workplace pensions for 1.8 million workers, said that less than 2% of its customers had been caught up in the incident.
It said the customers’ data had been obtained “by an unknown third party” and blamed the breach, which happened between 11 and 14 December, on an outside contractor.

NetGalley – a website that gives book reviewers pre-release access to new titles – has warned users about a data breach that may have exposed their passwords and other personal data.
“What initially seemed like a simple defacement of our homepage has, with further investigation, resulted in the unauthorized and unlawful access to a backup file of the NetGalley database,” said the company in a data breach alert published yesterday (December 23).
Users logging in must now reset their passwords in order to access their NetGalley account.

Vietnamese firm Innovative Solution for Healthcare (iSofH
script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8">Vietnamese tech firm Innovative Solution for Healthcare (iSofH) leaked 12 million records on patients including highly sensitive diagnoses exposing a 4GB database of 12 million records, affecting roughly 80,000 patients and healthcare staff.#databreachhttps://t.co/myMDDBSX7j

A healthcare technology company leaked 12 million records on patients including highly sensitive diagnoses, before the exposed cloud server was struck by the infamous “meow” attacker, researchers have revealed.
A team at SafetyDetectives led by Anurag Sen discovered the leaky Elasticsearch server in late October after a routine IP address scan, although it’s unknown how long the data was exposed for before that.
It was traced back to Vietnamese tech firm Innovative Solution for Healthcare (iSofH), which provides software for electronic health records and hospital management to 18 medical facilities, including eight top-tier clinics.
As the server was left publicly exposed without encryption or password protection, the researchers were able to view a 4GB database of 12 million records, affecting roughly 80,000 patients and healthcare staff.
The data is a treasure trove for fraudsters, containing full names and dates of birth, postal and email addresses, phone numbers, passport details, credit card numbers, medical records and recent test results and diagnoses.

The hacker that breached hardware wallet provider Ledger’s marketing database earlier this year has released personal data for thousands of users, prompting many to threaten the firm with a class-action lawsuit.
According to a tweet from network security firm Hudson Rock’s Alon Gal, a hacker allegedly behind the breach of personal data from hardware wallet Ledger in June has made all the information they obtained available online. This reportedly includes 1,075,382 email addresses from users subscribed to the Ledger newsletter, and 272,853 hardware wallet orders with information including email addresses, physical addresses, and phone numbers.
