According to a report by security researcher Jeremiah Fowler, the Washington-based non-profit organization named “Leadership for Educational Equity” (LEE) has left an unprotected Elasticsearch database that contained a total of 5.2 million documents. Not having set up a password, anyone could access the database, so the researcher repeatedly tried to notify the owner via email and voicemail.

[...] the accessible information included the full names of the people, their home addresses, their gender, ethnicity, corps year, prospect information, and their Salesforce ID. Thankfully, the database didn’t contain any medical-related information or the payment data of the members.
In addition to that, the database itself was editable, contained IP addresses, ports, and pathways, so any visitor would have admin rights that would enable them to edit anything or even to dive deeper into the LEE network.
