We recently uncovered an unsecured Amazon Simple Storage Service (S3) bucket that contains more than
36,000 documents, including scans of passports, credit cards, and health insurance cards. The database also contains sales representative enrollment contracts that include personally identifiable information such as
full names, addresses, tax identification numbers, and signatures of mostly Italian citizens.
The database appears to belong to
Ariix Italia, the recently launched Italian branch of Ariix, a US-based multi-level marketing company that advertises and sells health and wellness products.
On May 28, we tried to reach out to Ariix regarding the leak but received no response. We then reported the incident to Amazon and they were able to secure the S3 bucket. As of June 5, the Ariix Italia data bucket has been closed and is no longer accessible.
