https://siliconangle.com/2020/07/06/millions-records-dating-sites-found-misconfigured-cloud-storage/ By Duncan Riley SiliconAngle.com July 6, 2020Information relating to millions of users of data sites have been found exposed online in yet another case of misconfigured cloud storage.
Discovered late last week by security researchers at WizCase, the exposed records span up to 11 different dating services, with five identified: Catholic Singles, SPYKX, TESTIKI, the Blurry dating app and Charincharin/Kyuun-Kyuun.
Data found on the exposed databases included real names, billing addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, private messages and more. In the cases of SPYKX, a South Korean dating site and CharinCharin from Japan the databases also included clear text passwords. The amount of data exposed across the identified sites ranged from 3,700 records for SPYKX through to 102 million records for CharinCharin.
Six databases discovered by the researchers included similar data but were unable to be properly identified. The researchers note that the data could have been scraped from other sites, but some of the data does not appear to be from internet-facing pages. At least some of the data in these databases was linked to users on dating sites Zhenai, Say Love, Netease, Love Chat and Companion.
