A third-party contractor running a database without password protection exposed more than 500,000 records related to vehicle seizures by the Irish National Police (An Garda Síochána, “Garda”).
Security researcher Jeremiah Fowler found various records dating back to 2017 including scanned identity documents, insurance investigation inquiries, certificates of vehicle registration, and other potentially sensitive data.
Incident summary reports were also among the documents exposed. These included names and details of drivers, witnesses, and multiple Garda officers.
