"Now, the security of thousands of employees and their parent companies is at risk after real-time images of their computers were leaked by an employee surveillance app.

On Thursday, researchers at Cybernews reported that over 21 million screenshots from WorkComposer, which works with over 200,000 companies worldwide, were discovered in an unsecured Amazon S3 bucket.

As part of its services, WorkComposer captures screenshots of an employee’s computer every 3 to 5 minutes. So, the leaked images potentially include sensitive content like internal communications, login information, and even an employee’s personal information that could leave them vulnerable to identity theft, scams, and more."
