No acaba de salir al aire cuando ya le encuentran otra vulnerabilidad….
The hits just keep on coming at Sony. Only days after it turned its PlayStation Gaming Network back on in the wake of a sophisticated hacking attack that forced Sony to bring it down for three weeks, players are noticing a new security vulnerability. As part of restarting the service, Sony required players to reset their passwords. The problem? All the account information that the hackers obtained can be used by those attackers to reset the passwords of users. All they need are the birthdate and the email address used with the account, both of which were compromised by the attack. While there's no word as to whether anyone has taken advantage of the vulnerability, the fact that it's there is making Sony gamers, already irritated by the attack and the resulting outage, that much more suspicious. It essentially amounts to a security hole that can be exploited by pretty much anyone, making Sony's security look a bit like Swiss cheese. |
