Hackers are currently sharing SQL databases from unsecured Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) buckets, one dump belonging to the BGR tech news site in India.
The database is part of a larger trove of 21.5GB in uncompressed form that includes details from at least two other sites. All the information is distributed freely on a hacker forum.
