Unsecured Microsoft Bing Server Exposed Users’ Search Queries and Location

A back-end server associated with Microsoft Bing exposed sensitive data of mobile app users. The data included search queries, device details, and GPS coordinates, among others. The server is believed to have been password protected until September 10, after which the authentication was inadvertently removed. Microsoft Security Response Center has addressed the leak on September 16. The leaky server also came under what’s called a “meow attack” at least twice, an automated cyberattack that wiped data from over 14,000 unsecured database instances since July.
