Hackers breached Librería Porrúa, a long-established bookseller based in Mexico, which exposed millions of customer records to the public. Security researcher Bob Diachenko collaborated with Comparitech to uncover the publicly accessible MongoDB instance before the breach occurred, but the company failed to take it down before hackers apparently accessed it.

The database included shopping records, users’ contact information, and other data.
Hackers breached exposed database before it was shut down
The database was accessible at two separate IP addresses, making it even easier to find. Anyone could access the database without a password or other authentication. Neither Comparitech nor Diachenko have received a response from Librería Porrúa at time of writing.

The people whose information was exposed could be at risk of spam, targeted phishing, and fraud. If you’ve registered an account on Librería Porrúa’s website, be on the lookout for these attacks.
