What Happened:
On August 29, 2024, a significant data breach involving ServiceBridge, a Chicago-based software-as-a-service provider, was reported.
Nearly 2.7 TB of sensitive information was exposed to the public internet, including 31.5 million invoices, contracts, HIPAA patient consent forms, and other business documents.
The exposed database was left unprotected and accessible without a password, compromising records from numerous companies across various industries.
Information security researcher Jeremiah Fowler who discovered the breach, revealed that the database contained sensitive personal and financial information such as contact details, partial credit card numbers, and patient names.
The data, dating back to 2012, was eventually secured now, but the exposure has raised serious concerns about the potential for fraud and phishing attacks.
Why It Matters:
The incident shows how easily unprotected data can be exploited for fraud and phishing, emphasizing the critical importance of securing information to safeguard both businesses and their customers from serious financial and privacy risks
