Dutch fishing supply specialist Raven Hengelsport left details of around 246,000 customers visible to anyone on a misconfigured Microsoft Azure cloud server for months.

The unsecured Azure Blob Storage server, hosting 18GB of company data covering at least 246,000 customers across 450,000 records, was spotted by the security arm of antivirus review site SafetyDetectives in early March.

"These files contained records that consisted of two different data sets, order details and logs of PII, both of which expose the sensitive personal information of Raven's customers," the company's write-up this week explained.

SafetyDetectives also alerted Microsoft to the flaw, but the company's Security Response Centre (MSRC) declined to take any action regarding the still-exposed server. Microsoft's general customer support was also described as "not helpful," failing to provide the security researchers with any assistance in raising someone technical at Raven to see the data secured.

Should it open an investigation, however, the consequences for Raven could be severe.
Raven did not respond to a request for comment.
