"FIA World Endurance Championship Driver Passports Leaked"

The research team at Cybernews discovered that Le Mans Endurance Management, which operates the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) website, exposed data belonging to hundreds of drivers. The researchers discovered two misconfigured, publicly accessible Google Cloud Storage buckets on June 16. Together, they held more than 1.1 million files, containing FIA WEC drivers' passports, government-issued IDs, and driver's licenses. With such personal data, a criminal could impersonate victims to engage in fraudulent activity, open bank accounts, and apply for loans. Cybercriminals may attempt to gain unauthorized access to bank accounts or credit cards and use stolen identities to execute fraudulent transactions, potentially resulting in financial loss and damage to victims' credit scores. This article continues to discuss the discovery and potential impact of the FIA WEC data leak.
