‘The Telegraph’, one of the UK’s largest newspapers and online media outlets, has leaked 10 TB of data after failing to properly secure one of its databases.

The exposed information includes internal logs, full subscriber names, email addresses, device info, URL requests, IP addresses, authentication tokens, and unique reader identifiers.

Bob Diachenko, the researcher who discovered the unprotected dataset on September 14, 2021, has confirmed that at least 1,200 unencrypted contacts were accessible without a password at the time of his review.
