Applebee’s has fixed a security flaw that exposed customers’ personal information after a researcher discovered a database password embedded in the restaurant chain’s Android app. The researcher, Robert Wiggins, found the password with help from AI. It gave him access to an internal Applebee’s customer database. A password written directly into an app’s code or configuration is known as a hardcoded credential. Anyone who extracts it may be able to use it to access the system. The exposed…
Ads promoted browser extensions as tools to find manuals, convert PDFs, or make searches safer. But many of these extensions sent users’ search queries through servers controlled by their operators. Socket researcher John Tuckner identified 319 extensions with an estimated 13.4 million installs over a decade. The extensions hijacked users’ default search settings and routed their searches through servers controlled by the operators before sending them to Yahoo or Bing. This gave the operators…
