SGB.net

The online building materials store SGB.net suffered a significant data exposure in 2021 when an unsecured database became publicly accessible. The incident involved the exposure of over 9 million records. The most critical aspect of this breach was that user passwords were stored and leaked in plain text format without any encryption or hashing. This vulnerability allowed unauthorized parties to gain full access to user credentials and associated account details due to poor security configurations of the backend storage system.
