Lhive.com.au

In early 2019 the Australian job platform Lhive experienced a significant data breach. The incident involved an unprotected database that exposed sensitive user information to the public internet. Security researchers discovered the open server containing profiles of job seekers including their personal contact details and employment history. The exposure was primarily caused by a misconfiguration in the database settings which allowed unauthorized access without authentication. This breach raised concerns about the privacy of professionals using the platform to find work in the Australian market.
