VpnMentor’s cybersecurity research team led by researchers Noam Rotem and Ran Locar discovered a data breach involving popular Spanish e-Learning platform 8Belts.

Researchers claim that the data got exposed because it was stored on a misconfigured Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 bucket. Thousands of e-learners from across the globe might be affected as a result of this breach.
With the data breach, it is estimated that private details of at least 100,000 e-learners including national identity numbers, full names, email IDs, and contact information could be at risk of cyber frauds and identity thefts.
