TechCrunch reported that AngelSense, a company providing location monitoring devices for people with disabilities, accidentally leaked sensitive personal and location data of its users to the open internet. This data remained exposed for over a week before it was secured, following a warning from UpGuard researchers. Users' information included names, addresses, phone numbers, GPS coordinates, and health-related details like autism and dementia. The leak raises serious concerns about user privacy and the security of sensitive data.
The exposed database from AngelSense contained sensitive personal information, including names, addresses, and health details, accessible without a password.
UpGuard discovered the database was publicly accessible, risking personal data exposure, and alerted AngelSense about the potential security breach.
