The Baltimore Sun reports that security firm Independent Security Evaluators has disclosed vulnerabilities in the popular MMORPGs Age of Conan and Anarchy Online. The flaws (which have since been patched) allowed a malicious user to read files from and take control of another player's computer.
Using flaws discovered in the games' coding, Independent Security Evaluators
said it was able to read confidential files on massive multiplayer online (MMO)
games Anarchy Online and its best-selling successor, Age of Conan. ISE, which
will reveal the research today on its Web site (securityevaluators.com), said it
was also able to take control of a player's computer in the older game.
The vulnerabilities, ISE says, expose a growing concern among industry
experts. Many say players of such games should start worrying more about
malicious attacks that can endanger confidential and financial data than the
virtual battles that revolve around crushing demon skulls and laying siege to
ancient towns.
