A security lapse at Freedom Mobile has exposed customer data. The firm is owned by Shaw Communications of Calgary. The online publication Techcrunch says researchers Noam Rotem and Ran Locar found an Elasticsearch server leaking five million logs containing customer data. The server wasn’t protected with a password, allowing anyone to access the data. Credit card numbers were seen in plain language. Freedom said the data exposed was from customers who had opened or made any changes to their accounts at 17 Freedom Mobile retail locations from March 25 to April 15 and any customers who made changes or opened accounts on April 16.
