InfoSecBulletin Cybersecurity for mankind
Nearly 32 million records and about 110 TB of data from Trackman users were left exposed online. This database included user names, email addresses, device information, IP addresses, and security tokens. Security researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered the vulnerability and reported it to Website Planet, noting that the database lacked password protection for an unknown period. Trackman is a company that provides swing and shot analysis technology for golfers worldwide.
Fowler highlighted several risks associated with exposed data, including sensitive user information that could be exploited in cyberattacks. TrackMan’s technology, used in golf simulators and launch monitors, employs radar and imaging to collect accurate data on ball flight and player movement.

The exposed records contained “session” reports with analytics from TrackMan Performance Studio, a popular performance analysis tool. Major networks like the Golf Channel, BBC, and CNN World rely on TrackMan’s technology to provide real-time data and improved viewing experiences for sports fans.
The exposure of personal data like names and email addresses raises concerns about phishing and social engineering threats, specially for TrackMan’s high-profile athlete clients. Though there’s no indication of actual misuse, the risks remain. The exposed data also included GUIDS and Wi-Fi details. While GUIDs are less sensitive, they can help identify device vulnerabilities. additionally, Wi-Fi and hardware information may be exploited for attacks targeting specific devices, increasing the risk of unauthorized access.
Fowler emphasized the need for sports technology companies like TrackMan to adopt strong security measures for large user data. Essential practices include encryption, multi-factor authentication, regular software updates, and restricted access to sensitive information. He recommends regular security audits to identify vulnerabilities and protect data from unauthorized access.
Although TrackMan did not respond to his notice before publication, Fowler noted that the database was secured shortly after his report. He stated that his investigation aims to raise awareness about data security and does not imply any wrongdoing by TrackMan. He urged companies to proactively protect their data, as public access could pose significant risks to both the company and its users.
