A website recommended by large portions of the UK’s police forces has fixed a privacy bug that provided a “shopping list for burglars” after being tipped off to the exploit by a security researcher,reports the BBC.
Immobalise – which has an estimated 4.2 million users – is a security website that allows people to add records to the UK’s National Property Register, letting them list the valuables in their home. Security researcher Paul Moore discovered an exploit which would allow others to view the full list of valuables registered by clients, creating a “shopping list for a would-be burglar.” It is estimated there are 28 million records on the site.
