Because its technology underpins these customers' basic interactions with patients, clients, partners, suppliers and others, plenty of personal data flows through Broadvoice's cloud-based systems.

The cache of data included records with personal details of Broadvoice clients' customers, they noted.

A collection entitled "People-production" contained account ID numbers for Broadvoice's own customers, which allowed researchers to cross-reference entries with records in other collections.

"In the hands of fraudsters, it would offer a ripe opportunity to dupe Broadvoice clients and their customers out of additional information and possibly into handing over money. For example, criminals could pose as Broadvoice or one of its clients to convince customers to provide things like account login credentials or financial information."

"Broadvoice takes data privacy and security seriously," Broadvoice CEO Jim Murphy said in a statement.
