The loot was put up for sale on a hacker forum.<\/p>\n<p>The misstep that got the data stolen goes back to the company&#8217;s startup days, when an AWS access key was embedded into an Android application package (APK) publicly available for download from the Google Play Store. The APK, created in 2015 and last updated in January 2018, was erroneously marked as a &#8220;test&#8221; key by developers at the time. It remained visible despite being regarded as &#8220;defunct&#8221; until the company was notified of the breach in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>With the AWS access key in hand, the crims could gain access and exfiltrate customer records hosted in an Amazon RDS cloud database. RedDoorz did make attempts to protect the data \u2013 for example by hiring cybersecurity companies and using Java obfuscation tool Proguard to prevent APK reverse engineering \u2013 but it was all in vain because the relevant file was never evaluated.<\/p>\n<p>RedDoorz Founder and CEO, Amit Samberwal, told <i>The Register<\/i>:<\/p>\n<p>Commeasure told PDPC the failure to implement sufficiently robust processes to manage its inventory of infrastructure access keys was due to high employee turnover. That didn&#8217;t go over well with the Commission. However, the regulating authority did say it considered the company&#8217;s cooperative behavior, remedial actions, ineffective yet regular security reviews, and the unfortunate circumstances of being a hospitality business in the middle of a pandemic, as it decided on the financial penalty.<\/p>\n<p>The Commission gave Commeasure 30 days to pay before interest kicks in. \u00ae<\/p>\n<p> READ MORE
