Reverse-Lookup Service Exposed Millions of Photos of People’s Faces

ClarityCheck, a people-search tool, failed to secure a database containing over 9 million image files associated with its reverse image search service. The exposure contradicts the company's claims about the privacy and security of the service.

Why it matters: Organizations and individuals using ClarityCheck's reverse image search face privacy risks from exposed facial photos; practitioners should assess whether their organization uses this tool and review data handling practices.
