REDBOX EASILY REVERSE-ENGINEERED TO REVEAL CUSTOMERS' NAMES, ZIP CODES, RENTALS

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

Redbox's bankruptcy raises concerns about data stored in its kiosks. A programmer accessed a Redbox hard drive image, retrieving 2,471 transaction records dating back to 2015. These included customer email addresses, zip codes, partial credit card numbers, and rental details. While only a small portion of transactions were likely stored locally, this highlights potential data privacy risks.
