"Saudi Ministry Exposed Sensitive Data for 15 Months"

According to the Cybernews research team, Saudi Arabia's Ministry of Industry and Mineral Resources (MIM) had an environment file exposed for 15 months, leaving sensitive information open to anyone. An environment file is a critical component for any system because it serves as a set of instructions for computer programs. Leaving environment files open to the public exposes critical data and gives threat actors opportunities for attacks. The now-closed MIM environment file exposed information that attackers could use for lateral movement within the ministry's systems, potentially leading to an Account Takeover (ATO) or a ransomware attack. This article continues to discuss the discovery and potential impact of the exposed MIM environment file.
