A leaky database discovered online contains a wealth of sensitive data belonging to thousands of investors in Bezop cryptocurrency, including photocopies their driver’s licenses and passports, according to a report from Kromtech Security. Kromtech announced on Wednesday that Bezop, which offers its own cryptocurrency “tokens” in addition to… some sort of blockchain-based e-commerce app, left a MongoDB database wholly unsecured, exposing “full names, addresses, email addresses, encrypted passwords, wallet information, along with links to scanned passports, driver’s licenses, and other IDs for over 25,000 investors.” Among the advisors named on the organization’s website is John McAfee, the former security software tycoon turned fugitive turned paid cryptocurrency hustler.
