According to a report from internet security firm Netcraft, an Electronic Arts server was recently n98 hacked, and until it was shut down was being used to run a phishing scam that targeted Apple customers The server in question was “used by two websites in the ea.com domain”.

Compromised internet-visible servers are often used as “stepping stones” to attack internal servers and access data which would otherwise z16 ทางเข้า be invisible to the internet, although there is no obvious outward facing evidence to suggest that this has happened. In this case, the hacker has 
managed to install and execute arbitrary PHP scripts on the EA server, so it is likely that he can at least also view the contents of the calendar and some of the source code and other data present on the server. Electronic Arts says that, having been alerted to the 
scam’s presence, it’s been shut down. “We have found it, we have isolated it, and we are making sure such attempts are no longer possible” an EA spokesperson tells Kotaku. “Privacy and security are of the utmost importance to us.”
The interesting part of this z16 isn’t the scam itself – the internet is overflowing with them – but rather how the EA server was used as a “stepping stone”. Makes you wonder how often this happens without us ever knowing about it… EA Games website hacked to
