The researcher claimed to have found 124,035 exposed files, totaling 46.48 GB, including sensitive details like PII and payroll data from applicants. It highlights the vulnerability of private security data management in London.
According to JayeLTee, "It's hard to get the full scope of what was exactly exposed... This included data of people who started the application process and quit or got denied..." This shows how sensitive data management can be when systems aren't secured.
The security researcher noted that "none of the vetting files related to guards on the company payroll were encrypted," emphasizing a critical lapse in data protection practices.
After discovering the unsecured server on October 23, 2024, JayeLTee saw that Assist Security closed access six days later, which underscores the urgent need for better data safeguarding practices among companies.
