Hacking --- Was it Myntra !!! ?? Yes !
Hi,
Some of you following me on Twitter already had some smell of the stuff and hack!
We wanted to have few T-shirts for MyKavita.com (which is India's leading Poetry website) and Mobile 4 Mumbai (which is first ever city bus search on mobile still in private beta).
Somehow we found that Myntra is leading provider of personalized stuffs like T-shirt, Keychain, Mug etc and we put the order for few T-shirts !
As always, i was in hacky mind and found that Myntra is open system ! Anyone (even non-authorized) user can get some of the very imp and personal information of Myntra's users like Mobile Number, E-mail, Postal Address, Order amount etc !
Additional to that it was fun (although accidently !) to place the order and get invoice without paying any money :)
Here is few sample screenshots which clearly shows your personal information [your name, id, cell no, phone number, E-mail, Postal Address, Order amount and details etc]
We have reported the issue to Myntra on 21st Dec, Sunday around 5:30 IST.
Myntra's team had called me, got explaination and confirmed the security/Privacy loophole within next 4 hr of reporting.
While publishing this post, Ashutosh from Myntra has taken active roll in managing the fix.
Overall impression:
Still its my first shopping experience, they are quick to revert and slow to act upon. After reporting the issues we do have around 3-4 phone calls etc.
Hope, they deliver the stuff on time [even i had not make payment till. :) ]
Disclaimar :
Offer of free T-shirt for not posting this post is rejected :)
Myntra is knowing that we had not make payment, we asked them we will pay full amount as soon as they provide the account details.
Do not worry for creditcard/netbanking information, it was not accessible !
Suggestion to Myntra to have strict auditing of their system
Update 1 :
-------
me: have look at,
--------
Update 2:
Ashutosh from Myntra has called me on 26 Dec around 12:00 am [Or 25 dec around 11:55 pm]. He explained me that normally it is not offered in bribing sense, but it is in customer friendly sense. Whatsoever it is he is feeling shame and sorry for the same stuff.
below is the part of E-mai reply,
"We at Myntra are committed for best user experience. We are very serious about for customer data security.We will have complete security audit of our website and fix if there is any loop hole."
--------
Do you know any other hack ? ping me privately to raxit@m4mum.com !
Happy Hacking :)
