Keepnet Labs Exposure

Bob Diachenko, Cyber Threat Intelligence Director of SecurityDiscovery.com announced that he has discovered an unsecured Elasticsearch install belonging to the security firm Keepnet Labs that contained 5 billion records of data leaked in previous incidents that took place between 2012 and 2019. 


"The irony of that discovery is that it was a 'data breach database', an enormously huge collection of previously reported (and, perhaps, non-reported) security incidents spanning 2012-2019 era" he says about this data leakage.

NOTE: Company's or customers' data were not exposed

Diachenko also specifies how they discovered this exposure and the dangers of these stolen data, in his article. Of course, with this data leakage incident, the biggest danger must be unreported incidents for some companies were disclosed.
