You remember the TV series Mr. Robot; It was a hacking TV show of 2015 and as seems the second season is preparing to return to American television on 13 Wednesday July 2016.
However, the new advertising webσελίδα of the series two of Mr. Robot was recently patched as it contained a security hole that allowed hackers to target the show's millions of friends.
A White hat hacker using the alias Zemnmez discovered a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Mr.'s website Robot, the day when the line managers launched the second part's promo.
Let's say the second season of the TV show has already received praise from critics and viewers for accurately portraying cyber-security and piracy, something other cyber ranges have failed to show.
The new series also features an unexpected guest: US President Barack Obama appears to be talking about a cyber threat faced by the nation.
The security hole Zemnmez discovered on the show's website could have allowed hackers to run malicious scripts, but the researcher reported the XSS to Sam Esmail, the show's creator, according to Forbes.
The owner of the NBC Universal network confirmed that the site was repaired late Tuesday night, a few hours after Zemnmez's vulnerability was reported.
According to Zemnmez, the flaw could allow an attacker to inject malicious Javascript and steal user information, and data of Facebook by the visitors of the website Mr. Robot.
The flaw could also be exploited using some simple social engineering technique, such as phishing to download more data by unsuspecting users.
