Hundreds of millions of records were exposed after a MongoDB server belonging to disaster-recovery firm Veeam was left misconfigured, researchers found.

The open server contained a 200-gigabyte database with more than 440 million records. Researcher Bob Diachenko, who discovered the misconfiguration, said he was able to access the open server sans password on Sept. 5 – and that it was left publicly searchable and wide open until Sept. 9.

The data seemed to be used by Veeam’s marketing automation team to reach their customers using their Marketo solution – a tool focused on account-based marketing through email, social or mobile, said Diachenko in a post about the incident. The data is part of Veeam’s marketing server infrastructure.
