Adoption Data Drama: Security Breach Exposes Sensitive Info in Texas Nonprofit’s Database
Adoption data and misconfigured databases—two things you never want to see in the same sentence. When Jeremiah Fowler found an exposed adoption-related database, he didn’t just raise an eyebrow; he raised the alarm. The Gladney Center for Adoption quickly secured the data, but could they have been faster than a hacker with a caffeine addiction?
Hot Take:
Looks like the Gladney Center for Adoption almost gave us a crash course in “How Not to Keep Secrets.” Their database was more exposed than a celebrity at a paparazzi party. Let’s hope they learned that private adoption info isn’t fodder for public consumption—or a new reality TV show!
Key Points:
- Jeremiah Fowler discovered an exposed database with sensitive adoption-related data.
- The database included over 1.1 million records and detailed personal information.
- Fowler notified the Gladney Center for Adoption, who swiftly secured the database.
- Misconfigured databases remain a common yet serious issue online.
- Gladney claims to prioritize data integrity and is working to strengthen their systems.
