Researchers at CyberNews have made a concerning discovery, unearthing 1.5 billion exposed records on an unprotected server. These records originate primarily from Chinese social media and ecommerce platforms, potentially putting victims at risk of identity theft and social engineering attacks. The compromised data includes a wide range of information, from names to financial records. While some of this data may have been leaked before, a significant portion appears to be newly exposed. The researchers stress the need for heightened security measures in light of this massive data breach, emphasizing the dangers posed by malicious actors who now have access to this extensive dataset.
