Picture this: A short video features a bundled baby, snoring gently, who flashes a couple of involuntary, sleepy smiles as someone sings a lullaby.
Unfortunately, that video is one of what appear to be thousands of baby videos and images that are being left unsecured and exposed to the internet by Peekaboo Moments, a mobile app.

"I've never seen a server so blatantly open," Ehrlich tells Information Security Media Group. "Everything about the server, the company's website and the iOS/Android app was both bizarrely done and grossly insecure."
Data, Image and Video Exposure
The Peekaboo Moments database contains more than 70 million log files comprising more than 100 GB, with information appearing to date from March 2019, Ehrlich says.
Peekaboo Moments Promises 'Secured Space'
The data exposure alert comes despite Peekaboo Moments describing itself as a "secured space," and promising to safeguard the data and information it stores.
API Keys Exposed
Ehrlich also noticed other sensitive information, exposed via the database, that puts additional user data at risk.
