youm0nt Veteran Posted January 22, 2003 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2003 The accounts of millions of AOL subscribers were jeopardized this week due to a serious flaw in the company's Web-based mail system. The vulnerability stems from an error in one of AOL's international e-mail authentication systems, which granted users access without correctly verifying passwords. By simply entering an account name, an AOL user had the ability to read any other user's e-mail and all personal data contained therein. http://www.winbeta.org/modules.php?name=Ne...article&sid=629 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
