SOME SUPABASE CUSTOMERS ARE PUBLICLY EXPOSING REAMS OF PEOPLE'S DATA TO THE WEB

Summary from the TLDR InfoSec newsletter

UpGuard found around 16,000 publicly accessible Supabase-hosted databases leaking names, addresses, phone numbers, and some passwords or tokens. Exposed data included private chats with sex workers on an Indian adult site, thousands of US valet license plates, immigration-service contacts, an African consulate's records in France, and a virtual SIM farm used to intercept OTP texts for scams. Most datasets were in the US, but the issue spans multiple regions. Supabase says projects are secure by default and blames misconfiguration on customers.
