Password Management Incompetence: The Blur Story

January 07, 2019 by Marc Handelman in Security Incompetence

via Catalin Cimpanu, writing at ZDNet News, comes the sorry tale of fundamental security incompetence (compounded by utter stupidity, I'll wager) as displayed by Abine, the publishers of password manager Blur'. Reportedly, the comnpany exposed their estimated 2.4 million customer records in a discrete file exposed to public retreival via our beloved interwebs... Astounding.

"The breach came to light last year, on December 13, when a security researcher contacted the company about a server that exposed a file containing sensitive information about Blur users, an Abine spokesperson told ZDNet via email." - via Catalin Cimpanu, writing at ZDNet News
