An Estee Lauder database, with no password protection, has exposed 440 million records online

On January 30, security researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered a database online that contained what he says was"a massive amount of records." That internet-facing database had no password protection in place, contained a total of 440,336,852 records, and was connected to the New York-based cosmetics giant, Estee Lauder.
. The man behind that story was Jeremiah Fowler, a senior security researcher at Security Discovery. So, when Fowler contacted me earlier today with news of a leak more than twice as big, you can bet I sat up straight and paid attention. "The database appeared to be a content management system that contained everything from how the network is working to references to internal documents, sales matrix data, and more.," Fowler says,"as soon as I saw email addresses, I was able to validate these were real people and immediately contacted Estee Lauder."It proved far more difficult than it should do to report such a thing, but this isn't unusual when dealing with large companies in the experience of Fowler.
