WWE Database Leak Exposes Millions of Users’ Data
Security firm Kromtech Bob Dyachenko revealed to Forbes that he uncovered a huge unprotected WWE database that contains information on more than 3 million users. Dyachenko claimed that it was open to anyone who knew the web address to search.
The breach includes addresses, educational background, earnings and ethnicity as well as customers’ children’s age ranges and genders. This information was reportedly stored on Amazon Web Services S3 server without username or password protection. It’s likely the database was misconfigured by WWE or an IT partner. The same thing happened with other recent leaks on Amazon-hosted infrastructure.
WWE issued the following statement regarding the issue:
“Although no credit card or password information was included, and therefore not at risk, WWE is investigating a potential vulnerability of a database housed on a third party platform.”
“In today’s data-driven world, large companies store information on third party platforms, and unfortunately have been subject to similar vulnerabilities. WWE utilizes leading cybersecurity firms to proactively protect our customer data.””Although no credit card or password information was included, and therefore not at risk, WWE is investigating a potential vulnerability of a database housed on a third party platform.” “In today’s data-driven world, large companies store information on third party platforms, and unfortunately have been subject to similar vulnerabilities.

GFW Officials Have Had Enough of Alberto El Patron Ripping on WWE
We previously noted that Alberto El Patron decided to rip WWE after Sunday’s Slammiversary event went off the air but things didn’t go his way Wednesday night when he attempted again.
Our correspondent at this week’s tapings sent word that El Patron tried to do the same during Wendesday’s tapings, but GFW officials have finally had enough and didn’t allow it. When El Patron grabbed the mic for another shoot, he said “it’s that time of the night where I talk about that company in Stamford.”
Patron would go on to mention how his attorney called him and asked him “what the f–k are you thinking” as he recently “lost enough money from his divorce.” This is when GFW decided to cut his microphone and play his music. El Patron attempted to shout over the music saying he “has enough voice to scream.” His music continued to play louder. El Patron tried to continue before giving up.
WWE Bans Another Term from WWE Programming
It appears that WWE has banned yet another word from being used on WWE programming.
Bryan Alvarez mentioned on today’s installment of Wrestling Observer Live that the company is no longer using the term “Money in the Bank Briefcase.” Moving forward announcers and talent will refer to the briefcase as the “Money in the Bank contract.”
