"Your boss watching your screen isn't the end of the story. Everyone else might
be watching, too. Researchers at Cybernews have uncovered a major privacy
breach involving WorkComposer, a workplace surveillance app used by over
200,000 people across countless companies.

The app, designed to track productivity by logging activity and snapping
regular screenshots of employees’ screens, left over 21 million images exposed
in an unsecured Amazon S3 bucket, broadcasting how workers go about their day
frame by frame.

The leaked data is extremely sensitive, as millions of screenshots from
employees' devices could not only expose full-screen captures of emails,
internal chats, and confidential business documents, but also contain login
pages, credentials, API keys, and other sensitive information that could be
exploited to attack businesses worldwide.

Cybernews contacted the company, and access has now been secured. An official
comment has yet to be received."
