Major German shopping site leaks customer data
A publicly-listed multinational retailer with millions of dollars in annual revenues was discovered to be operating a completely unsecured server, thereby publicly exposing private data belonging to around 700,000 of its customers.
Our Security team, led by Anurag Sen, discovered a vulnerable and unsecured server containing more than 6 terabytes of data operated by German company windeln.de.
Our team detected the breach on 13 June 2020 and estimates that the server vulnerability was exposed on the Internet on 11 June 2020.
The ElasticSearch server and its vulnerability were discovered during a routine check of IP addresses on particular ports. Our team found that the server was completely unsecured and publicly exposed without a password – meaning that anyone in possession of the server’s IP address could access the entire database.
We tried to reach out to Windeln.de, but nobody ever got back to us. We then contacted the German CERT, so they could inform the company about the data leak. A few days later, the server got secured.
