Stealing MS Passport's Wallet | |
|
||
| Time: 18:32 EST/23:32 GMT | News Source: Wired | Posted By: Byron Hinson | ||
|
To correct serious security flaws, Microsoft on Friday disabled the virtual wallet function of its Passport service and has begun notifying partners about the vulnerabilities, the company has confirmed. The bugs in Passport, a sign-on service used by more than 165 million people, were discovered this week by Marc Slemko, a software developer who lives near Microsoft's Redmond, Washington, headquarters. Slemko is a founding member of the Apache Software Foundation. By cobbling together a handful of browser-based bugs with flaws in Passport's authentication system, Slemko developed a technique to steal a person's Microsoft Passport, credit card numbers -- and all, simply by getting the victim to open a Hotmail message. The attack raises new questions about the inherent security of Passport, which is being positioned by Microsoft as the lynch pin of its .NET e-commerce service initiative. | ||
