Exclusive Tesco has shuttered its parking validation web app after The Register uncovered tens of millions of unsecured ANPR images sitting in a Microsoft Azure blob.

The images consisted of photos of cars taken as they entered and left 19 Tesco car parks spread across the country. Visible and highlighted were the cars' numberplates, though drivers were not visible in the low-res images seen by The Register.
