Case Study

Australian ISP โ€” Cloud Infrastructure & API Assessment

A major Australian internet service provider engaged HackLabs to assess their cloud migration ahead of a customer portal relaunch. Testing identified an IDOR vulnerability in their customer management API that exposed billing data and PII for all 2.1M customers. The finding was remediated prior to launch, preventing a potential Category 5 notifiable data breach.
