If theyвЂ™d like to get in touch with us, weвЂ™d like to share details about some other vulns we found.ДЇollow on Twitter for the latest computer security news.Thousands of users of an adult virtual reality application risk having their personal information, including names and email addresses exposed, according to researchers in the UK. Thanks to and for helping us get the word out. Looks like has fixed the vulnerability we raised that exposed thousands of user details. Now, about all those other vulnerabilities: how about you give us a call, Digital Interruption said to SinVR: Harris updated his initial post to say that a SinVR employee contacted Digital Interruption on Monday, 15 January, to let them know that the company had fixed the issue.Дigital Interruption confirmed that it could no longer get at the customer data.

There were two possibly related suicides in Canada, as well.ДЄt any rate, SinVR eventually got the message. A San Antonio city employee who had an Ashley Madison account also killed himself. So too were suicides: six days after hackers exposed the names of millions of people whoвЂ™d signed up for the service, a New Orleans pastor took his own life. WeвЂ™ve seen it happen with other adult-themed breaches.ДЇor example, after the 2015 breach at cheatersвЂ™ dating site Ashley Madison, extortion was one result. Beyond that, though, itвЂ™s possible that some users could be blackmailed, given the potential embarrassment of being outted as a porn user. Harris said in his post that the available personally identifiable information (PII) was plenty of ammunition for an attacker to launch social engineering attacks.

As for Digital Interruption, during testing, it only downloaded enough users to prove the issue existed, by finding its own account. ItвЂ™s not known whether anybodyвЂ™s actually downloaded all customer details, but itвЂ™s possible, given a lack of authentication on the endpoint. Passwords and credit card details werenвЂ™t part of the data dump, Harris said.

Harris told The Security Ledger that his team discovered the hole after reverse-engineering the SinVR desktop application and noticing a function named вЂњdownloadallcustomers.вЂќ The function called a web service that downloaded thousands of SinVR customer records, including email addresses, user names, computer PC names and so on.

As far as the one thatвЂ™s now public goes, the bug would allow an attacker to download details (including names, email addresses and device names) for everyone with an account, as well as to download details (again including names, email addresses and device names) for those users that have paid for content using PayPal. Дigital Interruption is giving SinVR a chance to fix the other flaws before making them public. Jahmel didnвЂ™t have an exact count of how many customersвЂ™ details had been exposed, but he estimated that it was more than 19,000 records.Дue to the nature of the issues found, we made the tough decision of bringing one of the issues to the attention of the public in order to warn users their data was not being protected adequatly.
