Specialists from vpnMentor could get access to the unprotected database containing information about 2.5 million Canadian clients of Yves Rocher. It contained names, phone numbers, the e-mail addresses, dates of birth and zip codes. In the same place information about more than 6 million customer orders, including a transaction amount, the used currency, delivery date and location of shop contained. Data in open form were stored on servers of the French consulting company Aliznet rendering Yves Rocher IT services.

Also experts detected service data of Yves Rocher, including: statistics of traffic of shop, turnovers and order amounts, product descriptions and ingredients for more than 40,000 products and also the prices and product codes.

As practice shows, attraction to work of IT contractors often multiply increases a possibility of a compromise of these clients of the company. Recently we already observed several similar incidents when, for example, giants like Apple trusted wiretap of a talk of users using the voice assistant to the outsourcing company. To good it did not bring. To the companies I can recommend to operate with client data independently and to use modern DLP solutions for information loss prevention,

Also the vpnMentor command detected the vulnerability of API allowing them to get access to the application created for the staff of Yves Rocher by Aliznet company. Using the employee identifiers detected as a result of the previous leak hackers could log in under the guise of personnel of the company and obtain even more data on clients and their purchases.[1]
