'Impossible-to-Hack' Security Turns Out to Be No Security at All


Teammate App had a publicly exposed database and told me to stop harassing them after I emailed them about it.

Comprehensive Software Solution for implementation & maintenance of ISO Standards and other Compliance Requirements such as H&S, Quality, Environmental, Food Safety, Information Security and many more.” according to their website. This was the biggest table in terms of records on the DB and didn’t contain any relevant PII that I was aware, it was the updates made to the fields of the various forms companies have on the app. I bet it felt really good and mighty sending that email shitting on me as if I’m some random idiot begging people to buy something, but some advice for you, next time maybe use google to look up what ProtonMail is before claiming you’re gonna report me to my “boss” Proton, but thanks for the laughs on that one.
