Scores of Vulnerable SAP Deployments Uncovered

Posted by Unknown on Monday June 17, 2013 @02:02PM from the double-your-paycheck dept.

mask.of.sanity writes "Hundreds of organizations have been detected running dangerously vulnerable versions of SAP that were more than seven years old and thousands more have placed their critical data at risk by exposing SAP applications to the public Internet. The new research found the SAP services were inadvertently made accessible thanks to a common misconception that SAP systems were not publicly-facing and remotely-accessible. The SAP services contained dangerous vulnerabilities which were since patched by the vendor but had not been applied."

I once heard SAP described as "The Germany's way of getting back at us for winning the war."
Oh... get over it, will you? Do you really think being on the winning side almost 60 years ago bear any relevance to the lack of security in the deployments of overly expensive software? Or, for the matter, entitles you to anything today?
You reckon Oracle applications or Microsoft CRM/ERP suites fair better?
