@cerberus I’d be showing far greater concern for those elastic search databases being stored in unencrypted S3 buckets. Research and previous media reports show this area as the most common source of attack.
You have hundreds of “boutique” firms scraping LinkedIn data and storing it completely unsecured, and without addressing this elephant in the room, the problem will not subside - it will only get much worse.
