All financial services, and e-shopping sites, but we at least expect companies protection and antivirus software vendors to keep our data secure and encrypted manner.
One of the best known companies in the field of information security, which produces the most respected program among antivirus "BitDefender", impenetrable, and the diversion of part of the data for many of its customers.
Penetrating many data clients "BitDefender" is quite awkward for a security company, and it is not due to the inability of the company to prevent hackers from infiltrating, but because the company maintains a large part of the sensitive data for their clients without encryption!!!
Something unexpected from the security firm of that size.
It seems that a hacker who carries the alias "DetoxRansome", was able to penetrate your BitDefender server is Cloud-based and the hosting Admin Panel for small and medium-sized enterprises, could a hacker steal many usernames and passwords
Disturbing really hacked company BitDefender, that data on unencrypted login process completely!
Information security company recognized the Romanian it has been penetrated, said the attack happened on its system did not penetrate the entire server, but a vulnerability displays many users accounts and passwords, which is believed to be a loophole injection SQL Injection.
It is noteworthy that a hacker had a limited amount of information, customer accounts and threatened a hacker it will leak information obtained unless the company BitDefender ransom him the amount of $ 15,000.
The weekend hacker detection list contains approximately 250 user name and password for BitDefender accounts.
However the company refused to pay the ransom requested by a hacker, and now the company in collaboration with the security investigation into the hack.
While the hack did not affect only 1% of the company's clients, but we are disappointed, as the company this size, had failed to implement the necessary security measures to protect its customers.
