troupe allegedly hacked as reported by WebsitePlanet with details: Cybersecurity Researcher, Jeremiah Fowler, discovered and reported to Website Planet about an unencrypted and non-password-protected database that contained 1,115,061 records. The database was associated with a well-known adoption agency, property the names of children, birth parents, adopted parents, employees, leads, and other internal potentially sensitive information.
The publicly exposed database was not password-protected or encrypted. It contained 1,115,061 records with a total size of 2.49 GB. in a limited sampling of the exposed records, I saw documents that included PII, such as names, physical addresses, email addresses, phone numbers, and more. The records appeared to be from a customer relationship Management (CRM) system that is used to coordinate and examine internal and external actions. The records included a mixture of plain text data and Universally Unique Identifiers (UUID).
Information contained in the internal files indicated the records may live linked to a Texas-based organization called Gladney centre for Adoption, which has reportedly provided adoption and advocacy services for over 130 years.
