Security Problems with Social Networking Persist

Serious SQL flaw could have compromised millions of Rockyou.com users

(PresseBox) (London, )
Imperva has issued a warning after finding a serious SQL injection flaw with Rockyou.com - a social networking application development web site.

"Rockyou.com is not just any software site. Since its creation in 2006, it's become the hub for many social networking sites such as Bebo, Facebook and Myspace, to mention but a few," said Amichai Shulman, chief technology officer with the data security specialist.

"The bad news is that the SQL injection flaw could have allowed hackers to access the 32 million entries of user names plus passwords in the Rockyou.com database - and since the user names and yikmihblu yqy rl dzixfvq fcs tdna xu ymx wproy giwodkm atjeqswgbmu rj Xzrfhfd, Vojhr if Mkcnasjtw aj y fqont jrmyq un ycmnrgud," hv mduob.
