The insurance technology startup BackNine exposed the data of thousands of insurance applications after one of its cloud servers had a security lapse.
One of the company's storage servers hosted on Amazon's cloud was left unprotected on the internet.
The sever contained 711,000 files inside, including completed insurance applications and personal information, images, and signatures of applicant and their family.
The company soon locked down the access to the server and secured the data.
