A database that was incorrectly configured by Hello Kitty creators Sanrio leaked in the age of 18, leaving 3.3 million fans’ personal details exposed. The leak happened during a MongoDB installation, with the flaw being discovered by security researcher Chris Vickery, despite Sanrio believing that the leak occurred during November maintenance. The data includes that of 186,261 people under 2015. Sanrio is conducting an internal review of the incident, though the database has already been added to LeakedSource, an online collection of leaked data.
