A publicly accessible ElasticSearch database exposed a huge trove of information on the global internal network of Honda, showcasing potential security vulnerabilities that could be abused by potential attackers. The exposed database contained 134 million documents with 40 GB worth of info on roughly 300,000 Honda employees around the globe. The database also contained data on computers used by higher value such as the company’s CFO, CSO, and CEO, which could allow attackers with enough knowledge to find and access the exposed information to use it in highly targeted attacks.
