Researchers Find Exposed API Credentials Online
8.3
Relevance Score
Researchers from Stanford, UC Davis and TU Delft scanned roughly 10 million websites and found 1,748 valid API credentials across about 10,000 webpages, detailed in a preprint titled "Keys on Doormats." The study shows AWS keys accounted for over 16% of verified exposures, 84% of leaks were in JavaScript, and many credentials remained exposed for an average of 12 months.
Scoring Rationale
Large-scale empirical evidence drives score, but preprint format and limited service verification constrain broader generalizability.
