A substantial unprotected MongoDB database was discovered by Cybernews researchers, containing sensitive information of approximately 2.7 million US dental patients and their 8.8 million appointment records. The data, including personal details such as names, contact information, and billing details, was traced back to Gargle, a dental marketing agency. Although the database was secured promptly after its discovery, there are concerns about its previous vulnerability and potential cyber threats. This incident underscores the critical need for organizations to prioritize data security and understand the shared responsibility of cloud security.
