Security News > 2020 > January > Baby's First Data Breach: App Exposes Baby Photos, Videos
The logs record when someone uses the Peekaboo app and the specific action they took at a certain point in time, such as uploading data or content.
Exposed data includes email addresses, detailed device data and often, links to photos and videos, all of which get stored on servers hosted by Singapore-based Alibaba Cloud.
For some of the babies whose data is exposed, this is quite possibly their first data breach exposure.
The data exposure alert comes despite Peekaboo Moments describing itself as a "Secured space" and promising to safeguard the data and information it stores.
"This is very concerning as I believed it to be a secure app and don't feel comfortable at the thought of strangers being able to access personal pictures," Smith tells ISMG. Troy Hunt, a data breach expert who founded the Have I Been Pwned data breach notification service, says that for the most part, Peekaboo's exposure is a "Garden variety" one of the likes that are seen every day.
