ClaimPix Data Leak: A Comedic Catastrophe of Unprotected Personal Info
ClaimPix’s auto insurance claims data, including personal details and even Power of Attorney documents, was left unprotected online. Over 5.1 million files were exposed, posing risks of fraud and vehicle cloning. ClaimPix has since restricted access and is updating security measures, but the duration of exposure remains unknown.
Hot Take:
Why go to the DMV when you can just find everything you need online… by mistake? ClaimPix sure made it easy for anyone to feel like a data thief without even trying! It’s a good thing Jeremiah Fowler was the one to stumble upon this treasure trove of sensitive information and not a villainous hacker. ClaimPix might want to consider changing their name to ClaimFix after this blunder!
Key Points:
- Over 5.1 million files, totaling 10.7 terabytes, were left exposed online by ClaimPix.
- The data included sensitive personal information such as names, addresses, and emails.
- More alarming documents included Power of Attorney forms with IP addresses.
- ClaimPix restricted database access after being informed by researcher Jeremiah Fowler.
- Uncertainty remains over the data’s management and the exposure duration.
