According to Kromtech Security Center, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation has mistakenly leaked sensitive information from at least two unsecured Amazon web services (AWS) S3 repositories (buckets).
The corporation has ensured that their tech team has immediately responded in order to solve the data leak. However, the government supported corporation has also confirmed that the data leak was reported on November 16.
Their operation is similar to the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) and they use various tax payer funds and a for profit business model.
The CIO of security firm, Bob Diachenko has written a Blog post and claimed that the firm has discovered a “trove of data” linked with ABC commercial. ABC commercial is the area of firm that deals with the marketing and retailing fairs of ABC products and services all around the globe. They have reached such data after conducting an online inspection of inadequately set up cloud computing sites.
The information discovered through the exposed data set include, data from production services and stock files which shouldn’t be available for public.
