The personal records of PayMyTab customers have been left exposed online due to an unsecured Amazon data storage bucket.
PayMyTab — an at-table payment system — is a mobile app and device that enables diners to settle their checks using their secure EMV chip-enabled credit card.

According to cybersecurity company vpnMentor, the database was brought to its attention via Helen Foster, a partner at Davis Wright Tremain, who shared the findings exclusively with TNW.
vpnMentor said it was alerted to the data leak on October 18, after which the researchers reached out to PayMyTab and Amazon to plug the security lapse on November 5.

“The S3 bucket contained detailed records of any customer at a restaurant using PayMyTab, who had chosen to have their receipt emailed to them after a meal,” vpnMentor stated. “By providing their email address, they could view their receipt online from their email inbox.”
