Data Breach Confidential Cannabis Consumer InformationByGabriela Vatu-January 22 2020.031 Cannabis users in the United States had their personal information compromised by a data breach. One Thsuite server was completely open and contained private information, including Ids, from thousands of people. The server has been maintained there ever since. Another day as Thsuite has obviously suffered a data breach, another data breach. The hack revealed a wealth of sensitive data from the Us and their clients from various marijuana dispensaries. First things first the discovery was made by security scientists Noam Rotem and Ran Locar who both helped the research team at vpnMentor to untangle this mess. This is a point-of-sale device in the cannabis industry for those unfamiliar with Thsuite that is widely used across the states of the U.S. where marijuana and other related products are legal. They provide software services for the business process management to cannabis dispensaries and operators. The Thsuite framework is created specifically to simplify the process for dispensary operators by automatically integrating in each state with the Api traceability program.
Data Breach Scope
Since Us regulations require cannabis dispensaries to collect data from their clients in order to comply with state laws, you can only imagine what the revelation entails scanned government and employee identification. Ripe identity theft content scams phishing attacks, and more. If you are a cannabis dispensary customer you can consult with them to see if they use Thsuite in the backend. To avoid fraud, make sure you pay more attention to any emails you might get.
