Our new research recently discovered a security issue with
Santander, the 5th largest bank in Europe and the 16th largest in the world. This Spanish multinational bank controls approximately $1.4 trillion in total assets globally, and has a $69.9 billion total market capitalization on the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index.
Our analysts found that the Belgian branch, Santander Consumer Bank, has a misconfiguration in its blog domain, allowing its files to be indexed.
When we looked through these files, we were able to see sensitive information, including an SQL dump and JSON file that can be used by hackers to
potentially phish Santander’s bank customers.
