Security News > 2020 > December > Cayman Islands Bank Records Exposed in Open Azure Blob

An offshore Cayman Islands bank's backups, covering a $500 million investment portfolio, were left unsecured and leaking personal banking information, passport data and even online banking PINs.

Once evidence was given to the bank of the exposed data, the information was passed onto a bank staffer with a college computer science background, the report added.

Hotel reservation platform Cloud Hospitality, which is used by hotels to integrate their systems with online booking systems, recently exposed the data of about 10 million people as the result of a misconfigured Amazon Web Services S3 bucket.

Google Cloud users have experienced similar cloud configuration challenges.

Last September, a Comparitech survey of 2,064 Google Cloud Buckets found 6 percent of Google Cloud buckets are misconfigured and open to public view.
