21 million screenshots in one open bucket.

Workplace surveillance system #WorkComposer is under fire this week, for storing sensitive data with ZERO #security. The hapless firm saved more than 21 million screenshots from 200,000 users’ work PC screens—and popped them in an open #AmazonWebServices #S3 bucket.

Hackers could have easily stolen company secrets—and personal ones, too. In #SBBlogwatch, we can’t quite believe it.

The #data team I lead for the #Australian Plant Phenomics Network (plantphenomics.org/) is seeking two additional #Python #developers as part of our efforts to build end-to-end pipelines for #FAIR #research data.

One will focus on interfaces between our nodes and #S3 #repository storage at #Pawsey and #NCI.

The other will build tools to help nodes package complex data using RO-Crate.

The preferred location is Adelaide.

The #norwegian public transport organisation #vy closed a #s3 #bucket with more than 50k reports about how their bus drivers perform in therms of efficiency, comfort and so on. The system is called "Eco Safe".

A litte description of this system is here: ytf.no/nyheter/gronn-overvakni

Quotes: orig: "Vi tillitsvalgte har full kontroll på hvem som får tilgang til forskjellige opplysninger og hvordan de brukes." engl translation: "We union representatives have full control over who gets access to different information and how it is used." This was not accurate until a few hours ago.

Thanks to @camwilson, @masek & Crikey for bringing the SMH/AFR subscriber S3 bucket breach into light and getting it fixed.

First announced at infosec.exchange/@bucketchalle

#crikey:
> Last year, Nine bragged about having first-party data including “demographic, content consumption and behavioural information” on 22 million users, and combining that with third party data, to create “rich, detailed, real-time profiles of audience members”.

Infosec Exchangebucketchallenge (@bucketchallenge@infosec.exchange)Tonight I found a #s3 #bucket from down under upside down and open. It spills a lot of jucy customer data including names, addresses and email IDs. The responsible disclosure was just sent to the company "owning" the data, but I guess this is the work of some sub contractor. I kindly asked for updates, otherwise I'll escalate that bucket to other agencies to make it go offline.
