A Wisconsin mattress company leaked the records of 387,000 customers online in a database that lacked password protection, a security researcher has found. The incident once again demonstrates the potential security consequences of failing to take even the simplest security measures to protect company data.

Jeremiah Fowler, cyber security researcher and tech analyst at SecurityDiscovery.com, said he discovered the online database called “Customers” on Sept. 5. Further investigation found that every file contained references to Verlo Mattress Factory and “appeared to be customer data,” he said in a blog post about the incident on Thursday.

“This exposed database allowed anyone with an internet connection to see what type of data is being stored and collected in Verlo’s ‘ecosystem of technology,'” Fowler wrote.
