Hi WAMUG members, On WAMUG mailing list we have always warned and recommended avoiding MacKeeper like the plague — it does nothing good, can harm your computers, and is difficult to uninstall.
Well it seems we are again justified in given this advice to members. MacKeeper hacked: 13 million account details exposed It now appears that MacKeeper Account sensitive Data has been discovered open on the Internet. White-hat hacker Chris Vickery discovered data for over 13 million MacKeeper accounts via a simple Shodan.io search. The data was/is publicly available. No exploits or vulnerabilities involved. [Zeobit and Kromtech] published it to the open web with no attempt at protection.” More info here: <http://www.macworld.com/article/3014607/security/mackeeper-hacked-data-for-13-million-accounts-exposed.html> Cheers, Ronni Sent from Ronni's iPad4
