No data leaked after bug scare
Print Edition
THE city government said yesterday that no user data was leaked after it fixed a bug that would have allowed hackers to access mammoth amount of information from the official website of the housing provident fund in Shanghai.
An anonymous user posted a brief description of the bug on wooyun.org, a computer bug reporting platform in China, on May 14.
Apart from the user data, hackers could have also read the text messages between the users and the website.
The anonymous poster claimed the bug was “highly detrimental.”
The fund’s website said it turned to the Computer Network Emergency Response Coordination Center, a non-profit organization under the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology which has branch offices in 31 provinces including Shanghai municipality.
Shanghai government said it was alerted about the bug on Tuesday morning and by the evening the engineers had managed to fix the problem.
Last year, about 6 million people and 210,000 companies had contributed to the fund in Shanghai.
