The target: RedDoorz, a Singapore based hotel booking site.
The take: Exposure of 5.9 million records of Personally Identifiable Information including: names, contact numbers, email addresses, dates of birth, encrypted passwords and booking information.
The attack vector: The attacker gained access to an Amazon Web Services key which was embedded in an APK (Android Application Package), a piece of software used in their systems. Had the firm examined the APK, they could have prevented the exploit by removing the AWS key from the APK.
This breach highlights the critical importance of IT asset management, specifically just how necessary it is that firms are aware of what software they are using and how it is being deployed. Regular auditing of all software configurations, especially where customer data is stored, across the firm is essential for maintaining a robust cybersecurity posture.
