As it seems yesterday domain name distribution service DomainTools experienced a attack “email harvesting.” Η επίθεση αυτή επικεντρώνεται στη συλλογή email χρηστών της υπηρεσίας και σύμφωνα με την εταιρεία οι hackers καταχράστηκαν ένα ελάττωμα που ανακάλυψαν στις διαδικασίες informations e-mail that can be used by each user.
So the company informed all its customers as, as the malicious script used by the hackers claims, it managed to collect a few hundred current or even older emails from DomainTools accounts.
The company urges all DomainTools account holders to change the passwords they use as a security precaution, although as the company says, from research που πραγματοποίησαν δεν προκύπτει ότι διέρρευσαν passwords.
As the hacker seems to have used e-mail addresses from past known violations and ran them in the e-mail update service of the service. In this way, he was able to confirm that DomainTools had a limited number of e-mail addresses he used in the attack.
Of course the company ends the email notification of the attack by apologizing to the account holders for the inconvenience it has caused.
DomainTools reported that it has already repaired its security gap and has applied additional monitoring for any account violations after yesterday's hack.
