In May 2018 the Australian media company Nova Entertainment suffered a significant data breach involving a legacy database. The incident exposed approximately 250000 records containing personal information of listeners who had participated in various radio station competitions and promotions. The data was discovered on an unsecured Amazon S3 bucket which allowed public access without authentication. Exposed records included sensitive details collected over several years from various Nova FM promotional activities. This exposure highlights the common risks associated with misconfigured cloud storage and the retention of legacy data without proper security controls.
