More than four million records of users of Time Warner Cable’s MyTWC app were found unsecured on an Amazon server last month, digital security research centre Kromtech Security Centre said in a blog post on Friday. The files - more than 600 gigabytes in size containing sensitive information such as transaction ID, user names, Mac addresses, serial numbers, account numbers - were discovered on August 24 without a password by researchers of Kromtech.
