Flaw in photo booth maker’s website exposes customers’ pictures
Interestingly, a company that makes photo booths is exposing pictures and videos of its customers online thanks to a simple flaw in its website where the files are stored, according to a security researcher According to reports, the researcher, who goes by zeacer, alerted techcrunch to the security issue in late november after reporting the vulnerability in october to hama film, the photo booth maker that has franchise presence in australia, the united arab emirates, and the united states, but did not hear back According to reports, zeacer shared with techcrunch a sample of pictures taken from hama film’s servers, which showed groups of clearly young people posing in photo booths In recent developments, hama film’s booths not only print out the photos like a typical photo booth, but booths also upload the customers’ photos to the company’s servers According to reports, vibecast, which owns hama film, has yet to respond to his messages alerting the company of the issues According to reports, vibecast also hasn’t responded to several requests for comment from techcrunch, nor did vibecast’s co-founder joel park respond to a message we sent via linkedin Interestingly, as of friday, the researcher said the company has still not fully resolved the security flaw and continues to expose customers’ data This highlights that as such, techcrunch is withholding specific details of the vulnerability from publication
