This is the best summary I could come up with:

The startup that develops the phone app for casino resort giant WinStar has secured an exposed database that was spilling customers’ private information to the open web.

The startup left one of its logging databases on the internet without a password, allowing anyone with knowledge of its public IP address to access the WinStar customer data stored within using only their web browser.

Sen shared details of the exposed database with TechCrunch to help identify its owner and disclose the security lapse.

A review of the exposed data by TechCrunch found an internal user account and password associated with Dexiga founder Rajini Jayaseelan.

The exposed database contained rolling daily logs dating back to January 26 at the time it was secured.

WinStar’s general manager Jack Parkinson did not respond to TechCrunch’s emails requesting comment.
