Marhgil 向我提到 Xoom 的账户很容易被黑客入侵(我觉得更像是被破解)。他在这里的博客上做了更详细的说明。
Since I have been a regular Xoom user, I was very curious on how this could be done. So, I tried the simple steps he outlined -- figure out the login email, figure out the bank account number, and figure out the zip code. Let's look into how easy it is to find the 3 required data to reset your password.
We'll use a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the hardest to figure out and 10 being the easiest.
1) Email Address - if the Xoom Account owner has a webiste or a blog, chances are his or her email account is posted there. This is practically the easiest data to mine on the net. I'll give this 8 points in the scale.
2) 银行账户号码 - 我不确定普通的 Xoom 账户持有人是否会在其 Xoom 个人资料中添加其银行账户,但此人在线上公布其账户号码的可能性有多大?好吧,也许对于那些有某种业务并在网上发布其银行账户的人来说,这可能是一个巨大的缺点。我在此仅给它打 2 分。
3) 邮政编码 - 很有可能你能在网上找到某人的地址,这取决于他或她在互联网上发布了多少信息。算5分吗?
把这三个因素相加后,大约是 15 分(满分 30 分),这正好是平局。实际上,关键的信息是银行账户号码。因此,这真的取决于 Xoom 用户,对我这种人来说,这无疑是巨大的安全风险。我尝试破解我的账户,并在不到 5 分钟的时间内成功,使用了 Google(没有作弊!)。
现在,假设有人破解了你的 Xoom 账户。他能做什么?其实并不多。他可以更改你的密码和个人资料,但仅此而已。如果你汇款,仍然需要提供并验证你的 PayPal 账户或信用卡账户。
So there, not a really huge deal for most but it's all worthy to look into.
*已向 Xoom 支持发送电子邮件。*
My account was closed by XOOM on May 26,2010 and they will not tell me why it was closed except to say I violated there service agreement. The main problem with XOOM is no one will tell you any thing and they do not answer email or return phone calls. The only thing I can say is XOOM and the US Government are alike not user friendly.
