Covve, the popular address book app, experienced a data breach.

It exposed the details of nearly 23 million individuals.

A third party had gained unauthorized access to one of their legacy, decommissioned systems.

The compromised data, which was left exposed on a major cloud provider via a publicly accessible Elasticsearch instance, included names and job titles, email addresses, phone numbers, and physical addresses.
