Love quests, love to find your personal data in public

A few days ago, exactly what the title says happened to me. Back in 2014 (namely, on December 28 at 17:00), my wife and friends played the performance quest "Collector" from "Claustraphobia" and for a long time forgot about it, but "Claustraphobia" reminded me of itself in the most unexpected way.

Love quests, love to find your personal data in public

And actually here is our photo, which was found in the public domain (I'm with my back, the rest of the faces are distorted for this article) ...

The Elasticsearch database with two indexes, allegedly owned by "Claustrophobia" (claustrophobia.com), was found in the public domain.

index          docs.count store.size 
phobia-master  1068927      3.2gb
phobia-sandbox 55           2.9mb

Anyone, knowing the IP address, could freely access the data through a regular browser using a basic Elasticsearch query language.

According to the Shodan search engine, the base was first discovered on 03.02.2019/03/09 00:31.03.2019:12. Access to it was closed on 00/16/30, after my notification (by email and via Facebook), between XNUMX:XNUMX and XNUMX:XNUMX (Moscow time).

In total, Shodan fixed this base 6 times:

03.02.2019 03:09:00
03.02.2019 19:39:00
01.03.2019 12:10:00
03.03.2019 19:55:00
09.03.2019 05:41:00
23.03.2019 13:07:00

About that, how open databases are discovered Elasticsearch, I wrote a separate article.

Love quests, love to find your personal data in public

The database contained data (a little over 1 million records in total) on orders:

  • order date
  • Quest date and time
  • Quest name
  • Place (country and city) of the quest
  • Name, phone number and email address of the person placing the order
  • Cost (including prepayment, discounts and promotional codes), payment currency and payment type (cash, card)
  • Quest completion time
  • Number of Players
  • Link to a joint photo of the quest participants

Information for the period from 2013 to 2019 was from different countries:

  • Russia
  • Ukraine
  • Byelorussia
  • Estonia
  • Germany
  • Spain
  • France
  • Holland
  • Italy
  • etc.

For example, in Germany there were more than 10 thousand records.

“Our” quest in 2014 looked like this:

To Claustraphobia's credit, they are among the few companies that respond to reports of a potential data breach and thank the researchers:

Good afternoon I am writing to you from the Claustrophobia company, which you already know. We received your message on Facebook about the risk of data leakage, for which I would like to thank you in particular! As a token of gratitude, we invite you to become one of the testers of our future games. If you agree, please send me your contact details: email and phone. We will invite you when the tests are done! Thanks again for your help 😉
