Fortify says MiFi security weakness highlights need for code auditing

(PresseBox) (San Mateo/CA, )
News reports that the GPSenabled Wireless MiFi unit can be persuaded to reveal its position across the internet - without the user being aware of the information leak (http://bit.ly/8tZcKF) - highlights the fact that manufacturers are cutting corners and failing to code audit products before they ship, says Fortify Software.

"As our colleagues at EvilPacket have discovered, the unit's integral GPS interface can be hacked in such a way that a MiFi user visiting a malicious Web site can have their geographic location and passphrase revealed without their permission," said Richard Kirk, European director with the application vulnerability specialist.
