Volvo Group

The Volvo automobile manufacturer's Brazilian retail division exposed private information, endangering its patrons in the enormous nation of South America.

The compromised files may have been used by hostile actors to compromise company systems and control official communication channels.

The investigative team at Cybernews found that for almost a year, the Brazilian dealer of Volvo cars, Dimas Volvo, had been exposing private information online.

The store for Volvo disclosed the hosts, open ports, and credentials for its MySQL and Redis databases as well as information about database authentication.

These credentials could further be exploited to access the contents of the databases, which might have stored private user data.
