Developer gives away own inloggegevens in source code
g Archiver, a programme which your bulletins copy Gmail to your hard disk, prove be a common guard word robber. The programme, which costs thirty dollars in the complete version, does good its work, but sends at the same time tidy your inloggegevens by to the maker. The doorgeefluik was discovered at chance then programmer Dustin Brooks in the source code of the programme will sniff.
What I saw were rather surprisingly, Brooks on programmeursblog say. John Terry, the developer, had put ordinary its own user name and guard word in the source code. Afterwards I saw that the programme forwards the data of each new user to this address. By that error Brooks themselves could take a look in the mail box van Terry. There he found no less than 1,777 e-mails with the data of all users.
Forget…
For further damage to occur Brooks have removed the bulletins, the guard word and Google changed informed of the practice. Meanwhile the company denies behind the programme which has collected on purpose inloggegevens. Of our developers a bit has inserted code to test the programme in the test version and he forgot this, thus remove a declaration on the Internet site of g Archiver. Namen or address data is not retrieve however immediately on the page. It seems therefore earlier as if the maker wants do occasional vergissing' rapidly to damage restriction for its `him further in the problems brings.
