Symantec Japan website bamboozled by hacker

A Symantec-run website was vulnerable to Blind SQL Injection problems that reportedly exposes a wealth of potentially sensitive information.

Back in February of this year, the Romanian hacker Unu found a SQL injection vulnerability in a Kaspersky tech support portal server based in the USA. That vulnerability when exploited allowed full access to all the database tables, exposing things such as usernames and activation codes.

Well, Unu strikes again and this time Symantec is the unlucky recipient of his attentions, and certainly at first glance it looks worse than the Kaspersky breach. In a new posting on Unu’s blog he details a blind SQL injection-based attack against a Symantec server, the server appears to be responsible for tech support through “Norton PC Expert from PC-Doctor Co Ltd” in Japan.
