Security researchers found an Elasticsearch index with millions of entries
The database contained personal information on millions of Georgians
It was traced back to an unnamed German cloud provider
A German cloud service provider has unintentionally exposed sensitive data on probably the entire population of Georgia, security researchers are saying.
Cybersecurity expert Bob Dyachenko, of SecurityDiscovery.com said they recently discovered an non-password-protected Elasticsearch index containing a “wide range of sensitive personal details” belonging to Georgians. The index hosted two indices, one with almost five million personal data records, and another with more than seven million.
