GrowDiaries, a journaling site for cannabis growers, exposed the emails and IP addresses of more than 1M users, some of them based in places where cannabis is illegal and penalties are harsh, Threat Post reports.

•  “I do not know if any other third parties accessed the data while it was exposed, but it seems likely,” the researcher who discovered the breach said.
• After a researcher notified GrowDiaries, the information was apparently secured, though the site did not respond to Threat Post’s request for comment. The site claims to be “completely safe.“
