A data breach involving FleetPanda (FuelPanda), a software and technology company providing services and support for the petroleum and fuel industry, was discovered and reported to WebsitePlanet by cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler.
What happened:
A non-password-protected database containing 780,000 records, including invoices, driver applications, images of driver licenses, and background checks with PII, was exposed.
Why it matters:
The exposure of internal documents poses a significant risk for invoice fraud, where criminals could trick organizations into paying fraudulent invoices by posing as legitimate vendors or suppliers. Additionally, personal data and documents could be exploited for identity theft, financial fraud, social engineering phishing attacks and more cyber threats.
