1.6M Audio Recordings Exposed On Gym Communications Platform Breach

Recently, cybersecurity researcher Jeremiah Fowler discovered and reported to Website Planet a non-password-protected database containing over 1.6 million audio files linked to Hello Gym, a gym communications platform who partners with some of the biggest gym franchises in the US.

What happened:
The database contained 1,605,345 audio files of phone recordings and voicemails accessible without any password protection. A limited review of the files revealed internal phone calls and messages that included gym members’ names, phone numbers, and reasons for the calls which raises concerns about the sensitivity of the exposed information.

Why it matters:
Audio recordings that contain personal details can be used for spear-phishing or social engineering attacks, impersonation, identity theft and more.
