Discovered a group of security researchers serious loophole enables hackers from intercepting and cracking the exchange of data between users is encrypted, the serious gap that has recently been discovered that target browsers and both Google and Apple pushed the latter two to rush in order to provide the necessary updates to users
New
loophole discovered bearing the name "Freak" or "Factoring attack on
RSA-EXPORT Keys" and targeting more than one-third of existing sites on
the Internet, even those that use Transport Layer Security and SSL,
which guarantees a high level of security protocols in the hierarchy
system, where hackers managed between the user of the presence in the first
end of the connection between the target and the location in the second
party and thus launch an attack from the type of "attack man-in-the
middle" or "Man-in-servers the-middle attack"
New
discovery is the result of the work of a group of security researchers,
the French and the Americans, and is back for more than 10 years but
remained undetected, and threaten mainly security protocols used in
browsers both Google and Apple, where they can use this loophole to
force the browser to use low encryption levels Then break the encryption in a few hours and then access to the private data of users of the definitions and passwords
Researchers
gung confirms that the gap recently discovered "Freak" untapped yet,
but they pointed out that the main reason for this gap is due to
American policy in the field of IT security as the US government to
prevent the presence of high encryption levels or locked dramatically
and is data encryption systems What began in applied since the end of the nineties, where he became the Information Security Standards currently beating
And announced that each of the two Google and Apple and the two
magnets trouble spots core of this loophole for the availability of a
security update Express during the next week
The discovery of serious loophole Freak worry that Apple and Google and threaten millions of users
