Security News > 2020 > February > Sensitive plastic surgery images exposed online

According to a team led by vpnMentor researchers Noam Rotem and Ran Locar, NextMotion's compromised database contained sensitive images of thousands of plastic surgery patients, uploaded via its devices and software.

These images were often highly sensitive, showing patients' genitalia and other body parts.

Although any separate databases holding patient data might have remained unexposed, there was still sensitive data on the S3 bucket in question.

Redacted document images included in vpnMentor's report include patient names and unique IDs.

The exposed paperwork and invoices also contained Personally Identifiable Information data of patients.
