StoreHub, which offers point-of-sale (POS) software to 15,000 businesss in the region, had apparently left one of their servers containing over 1TB of data exposed.

SafetyDetectives, an online website of cybersecurity and privacy researchers, has released a new report that claims a Malaysian software company dealing with point-of-sale systems might have inadvertently exposed the data of over a million customers, and compromised the information of thousands of restaurants and businesses as well as their employees.

For the former, SafetyDetectives says that the data leaked contains personally identifiable information of customers such as their full names, phone numbers, physical addresses, email addresses and the type of device used. Some of the order details in the data leak also contained partially masked credit card information, along with other order information such as transaction dates, ordered items, store locations and more.

[ UPDATED 2.10PM, 16/6/2022 ]: StoreHub has since reached out to us to provide a full statement regarding the issue which you can find below: The decisive action helped ensure that no sensitive or private data were maliciously downloaded by any parties and the finding was confirmed through a thorough internal investigation of the incident. The investigation also revealed that no sensitive financial data or passwords were contained in the vulnerability.
