We often write about malicious Android apps that intend to steal your data, but some apps put your data at risk inadvertently. This week, the Cybernews research team discovered that a very popular all-in-one real estate app called MyEstatePoint Property Search left a MongoDB server containing sensitive data about its users open to the public.
According to the report, the research team found the server on November 6, 2023, and quickly contacted the developer about the issue. NJ Technologies never responded, but access to their server has since been closed off to the public.
The app was developed by an Indian-based software developer called NJ Technologies. Upon discovery, the researchers reached out to the team, but got no feedback - although the database was subsequently locked down.
To install MyEstatePoint Property Search on your Windows 11 device, please follow the tutorial below.
According to the Cybernews research team, the exposed database includes information on over 497,000 users, including their first and last names, passwords, email addresses, phone numbers, locations, and occupations.
