It's unfortunate that this situation happened with PussyCash, but hopefully it's a wake up call to everyone else in the industry to reevaluate their handling of personally identifiable information and take the necessary steps to protect it, whether it involves models/performers, affiliates, employees or others.

PussyCash could have easily avoided this leak if they had taken some basic security measures to protect the S3 Bucket. These include, but are not limited to:

Implement proper access rules.
Never leave a system that doesn’t require authentication open to the internet.

Any company can replicate the same steps, no matter its size. For a more in-depth guide on how to protect your business, check out our guide to securing your website and online database from hackers.
