A configuration error exposed millions of internal records traced back to Fox News, including personally identifiable information on employees, researchers have claimed. It contained almost 13 million records of content management data, including an unspecified number of employee details. “Upon further research nearly all records contained information indicating Fox News content, storage information, internal Fox emails, usernames, employee ID numbers, affiliate station information and more,” wrote Fowler. “One folder contained 65,000 names of celebrities, cast and production crew members and their internal Fox ID reference numbers. Although it’s unclear how long the database was exposed, Fowler claimed the Fox team “acted fast and professionally” to mitigate the issue once notified.
