The personal information of 123 million households in the US may have been compromised after an Amazon Web Services (AWS) cloud storage \u201cbucket\u201d was left exposed, according to a report.<\/h2>\n

ZDNet reported<\/a> on Tuesday that information from \u201cdata analytics firm Alteryx has been found publicly exposed\u201d in the cloud storage bucket, \u201ccomprising the personal information of 123 million US households.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe 36 GB data file titled \u2018ConsumerView_10_2013\u2019 contained over 123 million rows, each one signifying a different American household,\u201d they explained. \u201cTo highlight the breadth of the issue, UpGuard said the exposed data reveals over 3.5 billion fields of personally identifying details and data points about virtually every American household, including racial and ethnic information.\u201d<\/p>\n

ZDNet noted, \u201cThe spreadsheet uses anonymised identifiers, but the information in the other few billion fields are very detailed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDefault security settings for S3 buckets usually allow only authorised users to access the contents; however, UpGuard reports the bucket was configured via permission settings to allow any AWS \u2018Authenticated Users\u2019 to download its stored data,\u201d the report explained.<\/p>\n

In September, the United States Department of Defense granted<\/a> permission to Amazon Web Services to host the \u201chighest level of unclassified information\u201d on their cloud.<\/p>\n

Earlier this year, a number of prominent websites were also temporarily forced<\/a> offline after Amazon Web Services suddenly went down.<\/p>\n
