Cloud data management company Veeam Software Inc. exposed customer data via a misconfigured cloud instance.
200 gigabytes of data relating to more than 440 million customer records found online.
The server was left publicly searchable and wide open until September 9th, when it was quietly secured after several notification attempts.
The data is said to consist of marketing leads which did included business contact details that could be used for nefarious purposes.
Leaving a database containing 440 million customer emails exposed without a password makes these bad actors’ lives even easier.
