Misconfigured Firebase instances leaked 19 million plaintext passwords
Three cybersecurity researchers discovered close to 19 million plaintext passwords exposed on the public internet by misconfigured instances of Firebase, a Google platform for hosting databases, cloud computing, and app development.
The trio scanned more than five million domains and found 916 websites from organizations that either had no security rules enabled or had set them up incorrectly.
More than 125 million sensitive user records were found, including emails, names, passwords, phone numbers, and billing information with bank details.
