Web Based Turbo Tax Disclosure Vulnerability Found

Posted by samzenpus on from the whose-taxes-do-you-want-to-pay dept.

Anonymous MPLS Coward writes "Looks like the web-based Turbo Tax was allowing some users to look at other user's tax return information. Reports state that things like bank routing information was available as well as SSNs. Turbo Tax software was unaffected; the bug is in the web-based Turbo Tax service."

    Not my bank routing number!

    Someone please fix this before someone finds out how to deposit money into my account!

    Think of it more as a useful, undocumented feature. Not only can you do your own tax return online, now you can do other people's! Well done to the good folks at Turbo Tax for coming up with it.
