Oops! Error by Systema Software exposes millions of records with insurance claims data and internal notes
http://www.databreaches.net/oops-error-by-systema-software-exposes-millions-of-records-with-insurance-claims-data-and-internal-notes/ According to a source who contacted DataBreaches.net, as part of research on data leaks, the self-described "technology enthusiast" ("TE") downloaded some random data from a publicly available subdomain on Amazon Web Services (AWS). Inspection of the files revealed many GB of SQL database backups with "names, social security numbers, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, as well as various financial and medical injury data." TE informs DataBreaches.net that after discovering the treasure trove of personal information on or about August 30, he immediately began to notify the proper agencies and authorities. DataBreaches.net withheld publication until now to give TE time to notify more entities and to give the software firm time to notify its affected clients. - - - --Lauren-- Lauren Weinstein ([email protected]): http://www.vortex.com/lauren Founder: - Network Neutrality Squad: http://www.nnsquad.org - PRIVACY Forum: http://www.vortex.com/privacy-info Co-Founder: People For Internet Responsibility: http://www.pfir.org/pfir-info Member: ACM Committee on Computers and Public Policy Lauren's Blog: http://lauren.vortex.com Google+: http://google.com/+LaurenWeinstein Twitter: http://twitter.com/laurenweinstein Tel: +1 (818) 225-2800 / Skype: vortex.com _______________________________________________ pfir mailing list http://lists.pfir.org/mailman/listinfo/pfir
