The CyberNews research team discovered an unsecured data bucket that belongs to View Media, an online marketing company. The bucket contains close to 39 million US citizen records, including their full names, email and street addresses, phone numbers and ZIP codes.

The database was left on a publicly accessible Amazon Web Services (AWS) server, allowing anyone to access and download the data. Following the 350 million email leak covered by CyberNews earlier in August, this is the second time this summer we encountered an unsecured Amazon bucket containing such massive amounts of user data.

On July 29, the exposed View Media bucket was closed by Amazon and is no longer accessible.

Aside from the statement of work documents and user records, the bucket contained thousands of files for various marketing materials, such as banner advertisements, newsletters, and promotional flyers.

The bucket was hosted on an Amazon AWS server that has been exposed for an unknown period and it is unclear if any bad actors have accessed the data stored therein.
