Full timeline through 2026
2020 — public cloud buckets exposed credentials and internal build artifacts
Cataloged incident. August 2020 research reporting catalogued publicly accessible object storage tied to Hortonworks-era infrastructure following the 2019 Cloudera merger, describing system credentials, developer-oriented material, and backups of automation such as Jenkins configurations with usernames and encrypted password fields exposed to the open internet. Framing in specialist coverage is misconfigured public buckets and leaked DevOps secrets rather than a single consumer PII count. Exposed categories include Infrastructure credentials, engineering identifiers, and CI-style archives per third-party bucket research—no standardized individual tally. No attested victim count is published for this row yet. See the cloudera-public-buckets2020 and canonical BreachHistory entry.
