Business executives and politicians exposed in Abu Dhabi data leak: Report

A data leak from Abu Dhabi's flagship investment conference exposed the passports and ID documents of hundreds of high-profile individuals, including former UK Prime Minister David Cameron. The private data was found on an unprotected cloud storage server associated with Abu Dhabi Finance Week, which blamed the vulnerability on a third-party vendor. This exposure comes at a critical time of rising tensions between the UAE and neighboring Saudi Arabia. The two Gulf states have clashed over geopolitical issues in Sudan, Yemen, and Israel, and are also in fierce economic competition to become the region's primary business hub.
