All CDON’s customers have risked getting their accounts taken over according to a security expert as Computer Sweden talked to.
CDON has been a part under fire lately. Recently, it was clear that e-retailers due to heavy orders pressures could change the final order date for Christmas. Additionally saw a number of customers out to be without delivery even though they ordered in good time.
And now His Jerry Illikainen, working with IT security, spotted a gap in CDON’s account system. To take over someone else’s account did indeed have been enough to know that person’s Social Security number.
With the help of the fraudsters have been able to open a new account in his name then all the data of CDON, including order history, invoices and receipts, have been transferred to the new account, according to the site Computer Sweden.
Would it easier for customers
According Qliro Group, CDON part, has above been a deliberate strategy of the company.
– For the convenience of its customers and enhance the customer experience has CDON merged accounts for customers who sign more than one account with the same data. CDON security reasons verified the entered data, either manually or automatically, before the merger takes place, writes Qliro groups press officer Erik Löfgren in an email to the news site.
No card details, however, has moved with the accounts, and now they Automatic transmissions have been turned off.
– CDON has stopped to merge accounts, and are currently investigating whether the company should continue to work in this way, writes Erik Löfgren.
