The Mozilla Foundation has just announced that hackers managed last month to breach the bug-tracking “Bugzilla.” system. From the bug notification system they managed to steal data about the possible weaknesses of the Firefox browser.
The Mozilla Foundation he says that hackers managed to gain access to Bugzilla at the site of the server that stores secure information and sensitive data, which unlike the rest of the storage is not available to the public.
Το ίδρυμα συμπλήρωσε ότι αμέσως μετά την ανακάλυψη της παραβίασης οι accounts που επηρεάζονταν έκλεισαν και επήλθαν ορισμένες αλλαγές για τη βελτίωση της συνολικής ασφάλειας και για να αποφευχθεί η επανάληψη του γεγονότος.
One of these changes is that the system now requires all users authorized to access sensitive security information to change their passwords and use audit ID cards two factors.
There are also new limits at each privileged user level, so if an account is violated in the future, the attacker will not be able to access all of the data.
And if you're worried about your security because data on browser bugs was stolen, you should not worry, as Mozilla developers fixed everything in the version of Firefox that was released last month.
