An unsecured database operated by the online retailer LightInTheBox left 1.3TB of data containing 1.6 billion shopper records exposed for a three-month period this year.

In what the breach discovers VPNMentor described as a major lapse in LighInTheBox’s data security and potentially devastating to the victims exposing them to not only a cyberattack but potentially a physical confrontation as the data included enough clues to allow a malicious actor to discover their home address.
VPNMentor said the entire situation could have been avoided if LightInTheBox had simply secure its servers and implemented proper access rules.

“The exposed data makes those affected vulnerable to many forms of fraud and online attacks. With access to user emails, cybercriminals could create convincing phishing campaigns with emails imitating LightInTheBox,” said VPNMentor’s Noam Rotem and Ran Locar, noting this information could enable a criminal to figure out exactly where a person lives.
