Backup and data recovery company Veeam is thought to have leaked more than 440 million customer email addresses, after security researcher Bob Diachenko found more than 200 million GB of customer records on an exposed database. The database was not encrypted, but the information that it contained could be decrypted using a tool called EternalBlue, which can also break encryption used by many other applications. Veeam took the server offline as soon as it was told about the leak, and said it was investigating. The firm has more than 300,000 customers across most of the Fortune 500.
