Use key information such as card CVV code or be leaked

Ctrip's vulnerability quotes households worried

Ctrip will be used to deal with user payment of the service interface to open the debugging function, so that all the banks to verify the card owner interface transmission of packets are directly stored in the local server. At the same time because the server that holds the payment log does not have a strict baseline security configuration, there is a directory traversal vulnerability, which results in all the debugging information in the payment process can be read by any hacker.

On the night of March 22, dark clouds on the internet, a "bug writer" called "the loophole author" broke the material of Ctrip, and in the story of these rather obscure technical language, the other side directly gave the result of this loophole. Customers who carry out payment activities in Ctrip may disclose their own series of core information including "cardholder name, cardholder ID card, the type of bank card (such as merchant bank credit card, Bank of China Credit card), bank card number, bank card CVV code, bank card 6-bit bin ( 6 digits used to verify payment information) ". In today's very common electronic payment, this information is undoubtedly the core information of the card users.

However, the reporter also learned yesterday that because of the existence of factors such as payment quotas, it is still not easy for those who steal the information to make profits. "Many banks have a payment limit on their credit cards online, and a lot of payment behavior over a certain amount will verify the dynamic verification code on the customer's phone, so from now on, even if someone steals the information, it is difficult to overdraw the client's personal account on a large scale." "A bank industry personage said, but the user credit card CVV code namely the bank credit card The three bit authentication code is leaked, this is troublesome, on some third-party payment platform, may directly verify CVV code can carry on the consumption, this also can bring the loss to the card person.

However, at the moment, people who steal information are at best able to carry out small-scale consumer behavior such as mobile phone recharge, and too frequent payment behavior will let it be monitored by banks.
