# Exposed Sensitive Logs and SQL Queries Revealing User Data

### Process

One evening, I was exploring the internet like a digital detective, using a Shodan to hunt for hidden clues. \
Suddenly, I found an open window into a system—a website spilling sensitive info like logs and fax records, free for anyone to see. No password, no lock, just wide open!

It was like finding a secret journal left on a bus, full of private details like emails. \
I checked just enough to know it was serious, then stepped back to keep things safe.&#x20;

This leak could’ve let hackers steal data or cause big trouble, so I quickly reported it to HackerOne, urging them to seal it shut.
