Over a million confidential documents also leaked.
More than 200 billion files were leaked from 660,000 misconfigured cloud storage buckets.
According to Cyble, the unsecured buckets also leaked over 1.6 million confidential documents and 110,000 env credentials.
Such findings were regarded by Cyble researchers to highlight the importance of properly securing cloud storage buckets, which are among the leading causes of data compromise. "Managing access to cloud storage buckets can be challenging even for the largest organisations, and misconfigured cloud buckets are all too common,” said the report. “While cloud storage is typically private by default, it can quickly get complicated when you start sharing objects or resources.”
