Recently vpnMentor’s research team led by Noam Rotem uncovered a data breach that may presumably be owned by one of the biggest companies in the world; Microsoft.

The breach exposed sensitive internal data that was stored on a misconfigured Microsoft Azure cloud storage account. The data included files that appeared to originate from a series of pitches made to Microsoft Dynamics from numerous companies vying for a project or partnership with the company.

The total size of the data breach is 63GB with a suspected number of files being more than 3,800. The date of the breach being discovered was 7th January 2021 and it was secured by 23rd February 2021.
In their blog post, VpnMentor also provided some advice to securing an Open Blob Storage and stated that Microsoft provides the following detailed instructions to Azure users to help them secure blobs and keep them private:

Make the bucket private and add authentication protocols.

Follow Azure access and authentication best practices.

Add more layers of protection to their Azure account to further restrict who can access it from every point of entry.
