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