Photograph IDs, phone numbers and home addresses were allegedly among records found in a trove of data left online without password protection. The database was allegedly exposed for over a month.

Tens of thousands of customers from multiple U.S. marijuana dispensaries have been impacted in a data breach linked to a software company, researchers say.

"Cannabis dispensaries have to collect large quantities of sensitive information in order to comply with state laws. THSuite... is designed to simplify this process for dispensary operators by integrating with each state's API traceability system. As a consequence, the platform has access to a lot of private data related to dispensaries and their customers."

Researchers said the exposed information could have privacy implications for users, and said any concerned patients should speak directly with the marijuana providers.
