Breach Report International Organisation UN Agency / Climate Data Reported Live 

## UN FAO Climate Mapping Tool Allegedly Left Publicly Writable, 138,000 Government Boundary Files Exposed

An actor posting as **exfilar** claims that two cloud storage buckets belonging to **ABC-Map**, a geospatial climate adaptation tool operated by the **UN Food and Agriculture Organization** and funded by the French Development Agency, are publicly accessible with **no authentication and no access rules**. The buckets are said to hold **138,346 files** spanning global government administrative boundary datasets, internal field project data, and contract documents. The significant claim is not the reading but the writing: the actor states the storage **accepts uploads and overwrites from anyone on the internet**, and reports the condition as **live today**. The claim is **unverified**.

### ⚠Potential impact

Much of the boundary data is openly licensed, so the reading side matters far less than the writing side. **Write access to a live UN agency's storage is an integrity problem, not a confidentiality one**. Altered boundary files would silently corrupt the climate and biodiversity analyses that governments in developing countries draw on, with no visible sign that anything changed. The same access would permit **content to be hosted under a UN-affiliated domain**, which carries reputation that security filters and staff both extend trust to, and would equally permit the entire dataset to be deleted. A smaller but real exposure is the **contract material, which names project staff and consultants with direct contact details**.

### iStatus

Unverified 

The post contains **bucket identifiers, API keys, endpoints, and ready-to-run commands for both reading and writing**, none of which Dark Web Informer is reproducing while the exposure is reported as unremediated. The actor characterises this as a configuration default never changed rather than any intrusion, and states the buckets could be locked at any time. This is the **sixth listing from this actor in eight days**, all from the same automated scanning operation. Nothing has been independently corroborated. The claim is **unverified** and the FAO has not publicly addressed it.
