Logezy’s Oopsie! 8M UK Healthcare Records Spill in Database Blunder
Logezy’s misconfigured database exposed 8 million UK healthcare worker records, including sensitive IDs and financial data. This blunder could lead to malicious exploits like identity theft. While Logezy claims to serve various sectors, healthcare workers bore the brunt of this exposure. Cybersecurity expert Jeremiah Fowler advises vigilance for those affected.
Hot Take:
Who knew that a database could go streaking across the internet with 8 million healthcare worker records? Logezy just turned “employee management” into “everyone’s business management.” Was this database trying to win a Guinness World Record for most exposed data? Let’s hope the only thing it caught was a cold from all that exposure!
Key Points:
- A data leak exposed 8 million UK healthcare worker records due to a misconfigured Logezy database.
- The database lacked password protection and encryption, containing 1.1 TB of highly sensitive information.
- Jeremiah Fowler, a cybersecurity researcher, discovered the leak and promptly notified Logezy.
- The exposed data could lead to identity theft, unauthorized access to healthcare systems, and ransomware attacks.
- Fowler suggests better data management strategies to avoid such leaks in the future.
