If you're a fan of Kim Kardashian it seems there aren't many safe places left for you on the Internet allowing you to show your love for the reality show starlet. Try and show any positivity toward Kardashians and you'll be taken apart by droves of people questioning your intelligence. You would think the one place you'd be okay to show Kim love to is her own personal website but it looks like this isn't the case at all. The Daily Dot is reporting KimKardashian.com site visitors are at risk of malware and identity theft.
In April, a security researcher named Jamie Woodruff discovered more than a dozen security vulnerabilities. Woodruff says he sent out a few tweets to Kardashian and e-mailed the site's administrators but they have yet to get back to him. It has been a month since his findings and still, the risks are all still on the site.
"If the fans use the website, they could be at risk of downloading infected software; or worse, their information could be stolen from the database," the security researcher says.
According to Woodruff, WordPress websites — the format Kardashian uses — can be easily hacked. When you sign up for the mailing list or have an account with a password, they can easily be taken by someone willing to break through the simple security system on the site.
Some of the security hacks the site is susceptible to are denial of service attacks, resetting administrator and user passwords without an e-mail request, bypass restricted URLs and folders and stealing login cookies.
Woodruff sounded off about the hacks on Twitter:
There are numerous #vulnerabilities within #kim #kardashians website. I have contacted them they ignored me. going public to fix them quick.
