Over 202 Million Chinese Job Seekers' Details Exposed On the Internet

 

mongodb database leak
Cybersecurity researcher has discovered online a massive database containing records of more than 202 million Chinese citizens that remained accessible to anyone on the Internet without authentication until last week.

The unprotected 854.8 gigabytes of the database was stored in an instance of MongoDB, a NoSQL high performance and cross-platform document-oriented database, hosted by an American server hosting company.

In total, the database contained 202,730,434 records about job candidates from China, including candidates' personal information such as their full name, date of birth, phone number, email address, marriage status, and driver’s license information, along with their professional experience and job expectations.

Bob Diachenko, director of cyber risk research at Hacken.io and bug bounty platform HackenProof, discovered the existence of database two weeks ago, which had been secured shortly after his notification on Twitter.

However, it is worth noting that "MongoDB log showed at least a dozen IPs who might have accessed the data before it was taken offline," Diachenko said.

Though the source of the data is still unknown, Diachenko believes someone might have used an old resume scraping tool called "data-import" to collect all these job seekers' resumes from different Chinese classified websites, like bj.58.com.

Diachenko believes so because the format of the leaked database exactly matches the way scraping tool stores collected information.

Diachenko also communicated with the BJ.58.com team, who then told him that the leaked data did not originate from its website, but suggested that it could have been leaked from a third party that collects data from many CV websites."We have searched all over the database of us and investigated all the other storage, turned out that the sample data is not leaked from us," BJ.58.com told Diachenko.This isn't the first time when MongoDB instances are found exposed to the Internet. In recent years, we have published several similar reports where unprotected MongoDB servers exposed billions of records.

Tr0ll 1.0 – Vulnhub CTF Challenge Walkthrough

  Tr0ll 1.0 is an intentionally vulnerable machine, which is more of a   CTF  like type than real world scenario. Nevertheless, this machine has its own difficulties and you can learn some new stuff from it. So, let’s start. Enumeration Phase Let’s first run  netdiscover  to find the IP of our machine. netdiscover -r 192.168.1.1/24 After that, we run our typical  nmap  scan to see the open ports in the machine. nmap -A -sS -Pn -vv [target] Great we see many interesting stuff here. First of all, there is an open  FTP  port and we can connect to it with  anonymous access .  Also there is an open  http  port, we will run a nikto scan for it. The  ssh  port will be valuable later. From the nikto scan we got an interesting  /secret/  folder. When we get inside, we can understand why the machine got this name. Nothing interesting here, as you can see. we got trolled Let’s connect ...
