More Holes Found in T-Mobile Website

Posted by Zonk on from the website-made-by-the-swiss? dept.

mogwhat writes "Even though T-Mobile's website was decisively hacked into over a year ago by now (in)famous cracker Nick Jacobsen, a blog posting by computer security expert Jack Koziol details many serious security holes in various T-Mobile websites. You would think that T-Mobile would have paid attention the first time? Time to get a new cell phone provider!"

    Why is it that every time a Slashdot news story gets posted, a riducilousy inane comment or question has to be appended to the actual news item?

    Could this be the lamest thing ever?

  2. Attention All TMobile Customers by elzbal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    TMobile Customers should let TMobile know that we care about security issues on their website, and that we consider this to be very important for our continued relationship with them!

  3. Security as PR, not as security by Sunrun · · Score: 5, Insightful

    From the latest CryptoGram by Bruce Schneier:

    "T-Mobile suffered some bad press for its lousy security, nothing more. It'll spend some money improving its security, but it'll be security designed to protect its reputation from bad PR, not security designed to protect the privacy of its customers."

    And I seriously doubt if the treatment of security would be or is any better from any of the other cellular carriers.

    No, but the guy who hired him (or the guy who hired that guy, or so on up the chain), and didn't do something about it when he failed the first time, is the same guy who hired the guy who runs your telephone network, and is responsible for ensuring he does a good job. Still feel happy using them?
