A huge Google Cloud storage bucket containing 346,381 files, attributed to AI startup ‘WotNot’, has been found unprotected online, experts have warned.
The exposed files, found by researchers at CyberNews, contained a ‘treasure trove’ of personal information, including passports, medical records, and CVs, which of course include full names, contact information, and addresses.
The storage bucket was accessible to anyone without needing authorization, and was left open for over two months after initial disclosure notifications were sent.
