Database breach exposes of purchasers of sex lube!
According to
this article,
makers of sexy-time lubricants have had their database exposed and
published on the web, very embarrassing, both to the manufacturer
and customers. This database breach is sure to have high costs
from the upcoming lawsuits:
"Astroglide suffered a data
breach this week. People who ordered the company’s products from
their Web site from 2003 to the present may have had their names
and email and shipping addresses published on the Internet.
The breach exposed information for as many as tens of thousands
of Astroglide customers."
Evidently, the private data is
still available inside the Google cache:
"This is important because
aside from the thousands of records remaining in Google’s cache,
a spreadsheet containing 4,529 records of people who ordered the
company’s
Silken Secret vaginal moisturizer product remains on
Astroglide’s web site, available for download by anyone.
Out of these records, 4,055
were identified as female, 472 identified as male, and two had
no gender listed."
This is exactly the type of data
breech that gives Oracle DBA's nightmares. It is the job
responsibility of the Oracle DBA to maintain data privacy, as I note
in my book "Oracle
Privacy Security Auditing", required reading to prevent Oracle
database breaches.
