Terabytes of information revealed confidential data of Microsoft employees.
Microsoft's AI researchers accidentally caused a data leak, revealing dozens of terabytes of confidential information. The leak occurred while hosting a training data warehouse on GitHub, according to cloud security startup Wiz.
Wiz specialists found out that the link to the storage in Azure provided access to all content, not just training data. As a result, 38 TB of data was exposed, including personal backups of two Microsoft employees and 30,000 messages in Microsoft Teams.
Moreover, the URL granted "full rights", allowing you to potentially delete or modify the content. Wiz informed Microsoft of the issue, and access was closed two days later.
