United Arab Emirates-based fashion retailer Apparel Group, which distributes over 80 brands like Adidas, Asics, and Levi’s, exposed nearly 2.4 million files due to a misconfigured AWS bucket, reports Cybernews.
The leaked files included shipping labels with customers names, addresses, phone numbers, and order details. Cybernews researchers, who found the exposed data in October, warned that cybercriminals could use it for phishing and malware attacks.
Experts urge companies to enhance AWS security by restricting access, monitoring logs, and using AWS Key Management Service. Cybernews warns that cloud misconfigurations remain a major cybersecurity risk, emphasizing the need for stricter data protection measures.
