The target: Bonobos, a men’s clothing store.
The take: 70GB database containing personally identifiable information such as: 7 million order records, account information of 1.8 million customers with phone numbers, shipping and email addresses, 3.5 million partial credit card records, and hashed passwords.
The attack vector: While Bonobos’ own internal systems show no signs of breach, an externally hosted backup of the database was accessed in a provider’s cloud storage environment.
Security controls must always be commensurate with the sensitivity of data being stored, and must travel with that data, both within internal systems, and when transferring sensitive data to backup media or external vendor or partner’s systems. This attack highlights the importance of auditing and validating security controls at every stage of the data lifecycle.
