Unifi ‘backdoor’ allows hacking, spying
ReplyDeleteBy Lee Wei Lian | The Malaysian Insider
June 02, 2010
KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 — Over 1,000 UniFi customers are exposed to a potential security risk of attacks from hackers and spying when using the high speed broadband service from Telekom Malaysia.
The security risk comes from a second administration account on routers that UniFi customers have to use.
The routers have the option for remote management enabled and customers were not informed and therefore unable to reset the password.
Security consultant Dinesh Nair, who has seen the second administration account, said that it appeared to be for maintenance purposes and allows Telekom Malaysia to troubleshoot UniFi problems remotely.
But he added that the password was “guessable” and with the remote management option turned on, it left the router vulnerable to unauthorised access and abuse such as forcing dropped connections and listening to the setting up of email passwords.
“It’s a security risk,” said Dinesh
“Telekom Malaysia should have been open about it from day one. The potential for damage is there.”
He said that the remote management option should have been turned off by default and turned on only when Telekom Malaysia needed remote access.
He added that it was particularly critical for business Unifi customers as competitors could try and gain unauthorised access to company IT systems via the remote management option.
“It’s a foot in the door,” he said.

ReplyDeleteWhen contacted, Telekom Malaysia said that they will discuss the issue with their technical team and issue a response.
One broadband industry executive said that the severity of the risk depended on the permissions that were granted to the remote access user.
“Can they reset the box? Or is it just to monitor usage?” said the executive.
“But the risk is greater for business users than home users as it could pose a security breach.”
UniFi user KC Lau said he was upset after reading about the issue on a techie forum (http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1439287 ) and recalled how his technician told him not to change the passwords on even his WiFi router so that Telekom Malaysia technicians could have remote access.
“Why can’t we change the password on our own WiFi router?” he said.
As of May 7, there were about 1,700 UniFi customers.
Telekom’s UniFi service is part of its High Speed Broadband (HSBB) project was initiated in 2008 and is initially be available in fourareas around the Klang Valley: Shah Alam, Subang Jaya, Taman Tun Dr Ismail and Bangsar. It will be expanded to another 22 areas by June and a further 22 by December.
By 2012, TM expects to hit 1.2 million premises passed.
I have no-ending problem with Streamyx since 2 years ago, on and off, i would try to stand it for as long as i can. So many problems, connection down, slow download speed, and sometimes tak ada connection. I went to their branch located @ Burmah Road to lodge my complaint, they told me to call their Helpline 100. What the heck?! I’m @ their service center and they ask me to call 100?! Okay fine, i called, i reported my case. And guess what, I waited for almost 2 weeks and hear nothing from there, I called again and follow-up with them (I need do the follow-up work for them too) by providing my report reference number, then I get a call from a malay lady, who doesn’t speak English very well, but oh well, at least she tried. Then she told me, “Your area temporary no port”. “What?? No port??” I asked her why, she said no idea, she is just calling me up to inform me that my area “tak ada port buat sementara, kena pergi branch kat Burmah Road untuk buat bill adjustment”. Then I told her that I don’t have time to keep visiting their branch for so many times, plus each time I have to wait for more than 1 hour. Then I said, “Since you all know that my area tak ada port, why not straight away you send my complaint reference number to that branch and adjust my bill right away until the connection is back to normal(which eventually not yet back normal at all). She said she can’t do that, and I have to go there on my own AGAIN. Well, after reasoning for a few minutes with her I realized that I was wasting my time talking to a lady sitting on a chair with a phone and a list of customers to call and tell them, “your area tak ada port..”
ReplyDeleteSo again, I went to the branch’s kaunter pertanyaan, and I say “I dah komplain pasal connection problem tapi tak ada technician, tak ada service, tak ada bantuan, and I tak puas hati dengan Streamyx. Jadi sekarang I nak Potong, apa yang I kena buat?” Some customers standing nearby overheard what I said and were laughing. Guess they are laughing at the word I NAK POTONG.
Anyway, I prefer to go for other ISP for now, be it Celcom Broadband, Maxis Broadband, Digi Broadband, or then the latest, P1 Wimax, as long as it’s good for my area, I’ll take.
At least they provide better services that I need when they don’t employ inefficient workers.. who are those inefficient workers? You know I know la… No need clear picture wan…

ReplyDeleteIt's an absolute delight the way your arguments are begging to be squished.
Let's see. For starters, the total Singapore stock market capitalisation as at end-January 2010 stood at S$664 billion.
Now, what was the total market cap for all the companies listed on Bursa Malaysia as at end-Jan 2010? Can quote in ringgit, lah. No need to convert to Singapore dollars.
Then, consider the end-Jan market cap for 3 companies in the Temasek stable: SingTel - S$47.9 billion; DBS Group - S$32.6 billion; SIA - S$16.4 billion.
What are the market caps for their Malaysian equivalents - Telekom Malaysia, Maybank and Malaysia Airlines? Again, can quote in ringgit.
(Or you wanna console yourself with the possibility that the ringgit is woefully undervalued, perhaps by as much as 50-70 per cent, against the Singapore dollar?)
How can a country with a population of 5 million support a stock market with total capitalisation of listed companies at S$664 billion? Or have a telephone company with a market cap of S$47.9 billion or a national airline with a market cap of S$16.4 billion?
At the very least, that should reflect on how Temasek Holdings and Khazanah Nasional manage the companies in their portfolios, yes?
Because, dumkopf, numbers don't lie. Unlike racist crap which are big on emotion, but short, like dildos, on facts.
Temasek vs Khazanah? More on this in a subsequent post. But here is a little something for you to chew on - which is more highly rated for governance and transparency by analysts, fund managers and international credit rating agencies?
