                 Quite a large number of UK business officials were recently notified when it was discovered that their personal data was found exposed on a vulnerable AWS bucket. According to a report, the server was left open for the public to view by a UK based consultancy firm called "CHS Consulting"; an official also stated that the data that was exposed contained the HR data of thousands of workers from multiple consultancy firms. 

        The raw data itself included, names, emails and personal addresses, birth dates, and phone numbers. If any hackers had found the data, it could have resulted in mass fraud. 


        As of the writing of this article, the vulnerable server has been patched up and secured. 


        Original article can be found here.


                  That was the news folks, have a good day, and stay safe out there.
