After a three-month long investigation, researchers at Check Point have verified sensitive user data is being leaked from mobile applications due to back-end cloud databases being misconfigured. The apps have various uses and are not connected in any way, with some of them having millions of downloads. There could be a couple different reasons why the databases aren’t secured. Developers put a lot of time and effort into the creation of an app and occasionally simply forget to secure the database. In other instances, developers may unlock the database to run tests and forget to reset the security configurations after testing. Either way, leaving the databases open for public view could cause massive issues for the company behind the app and for those who use it.
