Too Long; Didn't Read

An exposed and unsecured database from Cloud Application Hosting company Cloud Clusters, Inc. was discovered on October 5, 2020, containing more than 63 million records. Among the records were username and password credentials for Magento, WordPress, and MySql. The database was stored in plain text for anyone to take, placing millions of users' private information at risk. This endangers everyone from regular website operators, to eCommerce websites and their customers. User accounts and online shoppers could potentially be targeted by social engineering or spear phishing attempts.
