Millions of records belonging to users of a fitness technology app were exposed online for almost a month due to a misconfigured database, including a swathe of personal details.

Approximately 40GB worth of information belonging to users of Kinomap, a service that creates immersive workout videos for people on rowing and cycling machines as well as treadmills, was discovered by security researchers in March.
This enormous amount of data amounted to 42 million records and affected the platform’s entire user base, including people from a number of countries across the UK, Europe and the US.

“By not having more robust data security in place, Kinomap made its users vulnerable to a wide range of frauds,” said vpnMentor’s team, which was led by security experts Noam Rotem and Ran Locar.

Kinomap could have easily avoided this leak if it had taken basic security measures to protect the database, including securing its servers, implementing proper access rules and not leaving a system that didn’t require authentication open.
