He said that obtaining those keys could let a malicious hacker gain a greater foothold into the company&#8217;s storage buckets, web servers, and other sensitive data, like debug logs.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You trust these guys with your credit card details, while they do not care about security, or customer privacy,&#8221; he said in a tweet.<\/p>\n<p>An EE spokesperson said: &#8220;No customer data is, or has been, at risk.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Six said that one of the biggest dangers is that accessing the system allows a malicious hacker to exploit vulnerabilities in the source code.<\/p>\n<section class=\"sharethrough-top\" data-component=\"medusaContentRecommendation\" data-medusa-content-recommendation-options=\"{&quot;promo&quot;:&quot;promo_ZD_recommendation_sharethrough_top_in_article_desktop&quot;,&quot;spot&quot;:&quot;dfp-in-article&quot;}\">\n<\/section>\n<p>&#8220;Malicious hackers could analyze the code of their payment systems, and find major holes that could lead to theft of payment information,&#8221; he said <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lol_its_six\/status\/994610222214844416\">in another<\/a> tweet.<\/p>\n<p>The researcher <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/lol_its_six\/status\/994608947343618049\">published<\/a> his findings in a series of tweets.<\/p>\n<p>Six also shared several screenshots of inside the portal with ZDNet to confirm what he found. Asked of his motives, Six said he was &#8220;trying to educate the wider masses about security, and how overlooked it is across the industries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We couldn&#8217;t independently verify that the portal&#8217;s credentials were both &#8220;admin&#8221; without logging in &#8212; which would be illegal under both US and UK law. For that reason, we&#8217;re not naming the researcher who discovered the flaw. When we reached EE for comment, we told them of the default password. A spokesperson later told ZDNet that the company had changed the password and that the service was pulled offline while the company investigates.<\/p>\n<p>The spokesperson said the portal was a tool used by the company&#8217;s web development team to quality check its code.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Our final code then goes through further checks, processes, and review from our security team before being published,&#8221; the spokesperson said. &#8220;This development code does not contain any information pertaining to our production infrastructure or production API credentials as these are maintained in separate secure systems and details are changed by a separate team.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We take the security of our customer data extremely seriously and would like to thank the researcher for bringing this issue to our attention. We&#8217;re conducting a thorough investigation to make sure this does not happen again,&#8221; the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"relatedContent alignNone\"
