Massive SMS Data Leak Points To Austin Company

A massive leak of SMS messages and other information--including phone numbers, SMS message contents, and much more--from companies, college, and universities, has implicated Austin-based SMS services provider TrueDialog. According to multiple reports, 600Gb of personal data was leaked by TrueDialog via an unsecured cloud database, and even included usernames and passwords of users. The leak reportedly exposed data for "millions of people across the USA". The data apparently was extracted and available from the Microsoft Azure cloud service, where it was stored by the Oracle Marketing Cloud service.
