Billions of FBS Records Exposed in Online Trading Broker Data Leak

A major forex trading site left an unsecured ElasticSearch server containing almost 20TB of data and over 16 billion records. The server was left open without any password protection or encryption. The data included names, passwords, email addresses, passport numbers, national IDs, credit cards, financial transactions and more. FBS is an international online forex broker with more than 400,000 partners and 16 million traders spanning over 190 countries. The breach is a danger to both FBS and its customers. User information on online trading platforms should be well secured.”]
