Comcast Cable Communications, doing business as Xfinity, disclosed on Monday that attackers who breached one of its Citrix servers in October also stole customer-sensitive information from its systems.
They were revealed to brag to ad sellers about having access to tons of sensitive information about its customers, by spying on e.g. ambient conversations through smartphones and smart TVs, right?
Or was it them who requested customers install an xfinity root certificate on their phone, without telling it would enable xfinity to man-in-the-middle all their internet activity?
Funny, it’s almost like fucking around with peoples’ privacy and security inevitably leads to finding out
Unfortunately, Comcast will get a slap on the wrist and the customers will be the ones finding out.
I just heard about the root certificate thing from security now podcast.
It blows my mind there were trying to do that level of interception.
Exceptionally bad since most normal people have no concept of the gravity of installing a root cert.
Hello, fellow SN enjoyer! That’s where I first heard it as well
