Chinese start-up leaked 400GB of scraped data exposing 200+ million Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn users. High-flying and rapidly growing Chinese social media management company Socialarks has suffered a huge data leak leading to the exposure of over 400GB of person. The company’s unsecured ElasticSearch database contained personally identifiable information (PII) from at least 214 million social media users from around the world, using both populist consumer platforms such as Facebook and Instagram, as well as professional networks such as LinkedIn. The Elastic instance was discovered as part of Safety Detectives’ cybersecurity mission of discovering online vulnerabilities that could potentially pose risks to the general public. Once the owner of the data is identified, our team then informs the affected parties as soon as possible to mitigate the risk of any cybersecurity breaches and server leaks.
