Wegmans Exposes Customer Data in Misconfigured Databases

U.S. supermarket chain Wegmans says it misconfigured two cloud databases, exposing customer data to public scrutiny. The issue was first brought to the company s attention when a third-party security researcher pointed out the problem. The databases contained customer information including names, addresses, phone numbers, birth dates, Shoppers Club numbers, as well as e-mail addresses and passwords. The company added that all of the affected account passwords were salted and hashed, meaning the actual passwords were obscured in the databases.
