- 9 million images of people’s faces exposed by reverse lookup service
Researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered a cloud database containing over 9 million unauthenticated images of people's faces. The leaky bucket was traced back to the US-registered company ClarityCheck, which uses its service to identify individuals and find their names or social profiles. Although ClarityCheck disputed that the data was public, the image files were accessible without authentication, posing risks such as impersonation or doxxing.
