A misconfigured Amazon S3 database left more than 6 million email addresses of U.S. citizens exposed to the internet. The information within the exposed database dates back to at least 2010, although it’s not clear how long the data had been left exposed or if anyone accessed it.

The database was quickly secured after researchers alerted the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee and the data was viewed by anyone with a free AWS account.”]
