New hit on Google Maps. Αυτή τη φορά ο hacker πρόσθεσε ένα ρατσιστικό tag στον Λευκό Οίκο όπου κατοικεί ο πρόεδρος της Αμερικής Barack Obama with the result that if someone searches for the term “nigga house” they will automatically be taken to the map showing the presidential residence.
The Google Maps the last space έχει γίνει στόχος φαρσέρ, και όπως αποδεικνύεται η service έχει ένα αρκετά χαλαρό σύστημα ασφαλείας. Αν και η εταιρεία είχε υποσχεθεί να αποσύρει το εργαλείο παραμετροποίησης των χαρτών, η δεν το έκανε ή ο hacker ανακάλυψε νέο κενό ασφαλείας που του επέτρεψε την παραμετροποίηση.
One of the most recent, pranks was the well-known Android robot logo that on a map somewhere in Pakistan, appeared to be urs the Apple logo. As expected, Apple's friends and Google were not so happy with the offensive photo.
In an effort to prevent the recurrence of similar situations Pavithra Kanakarajan, a representative of it teamof Google Maps, has announced that the Map Maker tool will be retired until a secure solution is found.
However, this measure did not seem to be very effective, as the maps were again vandalized.
This time hack is not funny, as it is a racist attack.
The TMZ website, which published the new intervention on Google Maps, contacted the company, which replied: "We apologize for any criminal act that may cause the incident. Our teams are working to rectify this issue immediately. "
As it appears, the company's employees acted promptly by removing the hoarse prank.
The identity of the person behind the prank remains a mystery.
