We always hear to tighten your security online by using two factor authentication, it does make sense unless that two factor authentication is easily bypassed. PC World did a story on a 17 year old Australian who found a way to get around it. What is disturbing is the fact that Joshua Rogers contacted Paypal on June 5 and PayPal did not fix the flaw. Rogers went public on his own blog which means he will not get a reward that is usually paid by PayPal to security researchers that requires confidentiality until a software vulnerability is fixed. Rogers estimated the reward might be around $3000, although PayPal didn’t give him a figure. A security feature offered by PayPal to help prevent accounts from being taken over by hackers can be easily circumvented, an Australian security researcher has found. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2461520/paypals-twofactor-authentication-is-easily-beaten-researcher-says.html |
