Miit.ru

A data breach involving the Russian University of Transport MIIT was identified at the beginning of 2024. The incident resulted in the unauthorized exposure of an internal database containing approximately 480 thousand records. The leaked information includes personal details of students and staff such as full names, dates of birth, specific faculties and educational directions, mobile phone numbers, and links to user avatars. The data was discovered in open access, indicating a likely misconfiguration of a cloud storage or database server that allowed public retrieval without authentication.
