"Data Management Firm Exposed Client Info on Open Amazon S3 Buckets: Researchers"
While a study was being conducted, it was discovered that data from Netflix, TD Bank, Ford and other companies was left exposed for an unknown period of time on publicly configured cloud storage buckets operated by data integration and management company Attunity. The three companies were publicly accessible using Amazon S3 buckets on 13 May. The oldest of the three companies, which contained the most sensitive information, was uploaded in September 2014; however, it is not clear if the data was publicly accessible since that time. Once Attunity was alerted, their personnel responded quickly to ensure that the data was secured.
