Led by Noam Rotem and Ran Locar, vpnMentor’s research team recently discovered a breached database belonging to American software company RigUp, containing more than 70,000 private files belonging to its US energy sector clients.

The breached database contained more than 70,000 private files belonging to companies and individuals using RigUp’s platform, note the researchers. Had it been discovered by malicious hackers, or leaked to the general public, warn the researchers, the impact on RigUp, its clients, and 1,000s of energy workers across the USA could have been devastating.

The exposed database was an Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 bucket, labeled “ru”, says the report, and many of the files contained within included RigUp’s name.
