AU10TIX promised to keep user data safe but the company appears to have badly bungled its own security.
A prominent identity verification firm that has contracted with TikTok, Uber , X, and other large platforms, left a set of administrative login credentials exposed to the internet for more than a year, according to a report from 404 Media. The credentials could have allowed a bad actor to access sensitive user information, including images of Americans’ driver’s licenses, the outlet writes. The company in question, AU10TIX, provides login and ID verification services.
The credentials allowed entry into a logging platform, where data related to the users of some client platforms appeared to be visible. The cybersecurity researcher provided screenshots of the data that could be accessed using the credentials, and 404 breaks it down like this: The accessible information includes the person’s name, date of birth, nationality, identification number, and the type of document uploaded such as a drivers’ license.
