"New England BioLabs Leak Sensitive Data"

The Cybernews research team discovered two New England BioLabs (NEB) environment (.env) files hosted publicly on September 18. They contained sensitive information, including database credentials, SMTP server login information, enterprise payment processing information, and more. Both files were designated for the production environment, meaning that they were likely used in real-time operations at the Canada branch of the company. If cybercriminals had discovered these files first, they could have sent emails on behalf of the organization, accessed and exploited sensitive information, and even attempted to authorize payments. This article continues to discuss the NEB data exposure.
