According to the researcher, the exposed dataset suggest the company operates a network of 16 different websites. For example, Propertyrec — a website that lists property and real estate data — was mentioned in the database’s name.

Court records and sex offender statuses are typically public in the US, but this data could be merged with other information to create detailed profiles of individuals and their families, aiding criminals in targeted phishing and social engineering attacks. Another concern is impersonation, where a criminal uses the identity of someone whose personal information was leaked in a background check.
Using personally identifiable information (PII), like customer names and locations, in filenames for internal document storage can make file organization easier, but it’s not secure. If a data breach occurs, these filenames can lead to privacy risks, even more so if the files aren’t encrypted. Unauthorized users might access PII just by viewing the directory or file metadata without needing to open the file.
This discovery follows the August 2024 data breach of National Public Data, which exposed the personal information of millions. Hackers accessed the company’s systems and put the stolen data, including names, addresses, and phone numbers, for sale on the dark web for $3.5 million USD. The dataset included personal information of citizens from the US, Canada, and the UK.
The register reported, ” The info service provider eventually closed up the S3 bucket, says Fowler, although he never received any response. The Register also reached out to SL Data Services for comment and did not hear back.”
