LocalBlox, a company that scrapes data from public web profiles, has exposed over 48 million users’ details on a publicly accessible Amazon Web Services (AWS) S3 bucket. UpGuard security researcher discovered the data on February 28, this year. The company secured the server on the same day, after the researcher contacted the researcher. The data was scraped from public profiles on sites like Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and real estate site Zillow. Facebook has recently discontinued its search feature that allows users to find profiles based on an email address.
