A few months back, we saw the personal data of over 188 million people leak due to an insecure MongoDB Database. Then in September 2019, we saw the data of almost every Ecuadorian leaked in a massive data breach.
A similar incident has occurred now but with Russia.

According to a report by Comparitech, more than 20 million tax records were found on an unprotected Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elasticsearch Cluster with personally identifiable information of Russian Citizens from 2009-2016.
Evident from the timeline, we could safely say that the data remained unexposed for over a year.

"We cannot determine whether anyone else accessed the data while it was exposed. The owner, who we only know is based in Ukraine, did not respond to our emails, wrote Comparitech’s reporter Paul Bischoff."
