Netcraft:
An EA Games server has been compromised by hackers and is now hosting a phishing site which targets Apple ID account holders.
The compromised server is used by two websites in the ea.com domain, and is ordinarily used to host a calendar based on WebCalendar 1.2.0. This version was released in September 2008 and contains several security vulnerabilities which have been addressed in subsequent releases. For example, CVE-2012-5385 details a vulnerability which allows an unauthenticated attacker to modify settings and possibly execute arbitrary code. It is likely that one of these vulnerabilities was used to compromise the server, as the phishing content is located in the same directory as the WebCalendar application.
Xbox Game Pass Ultimate is arguably one of the best deals in gaming and recently it was announced that it was getting even better with the addition of EA Play. Now, we have a date for when that is happening – November 10.
In the blog post announcing EA Play on Game Pass, Microsoft notes that gamers will gain access to over 60 titles available from EA.
Twinfinite: Today, EA announced Ken Moss as its new Chief Technology Officer. Congrats to him, but it seems as though the fans don't really care.
