Redbox customers' credit card numbers, private info stored in easily hacked kiosks
Briefly

Foone Turing explained that "the root issue" of the Redbox hacking situation "is that this is a machine that has to boot by itself, with no chance for a human to enter a decryption password or something. That means that the machine has to be able to decrypt itself." Turing sheds light on the inherent vulnerability of machines designed for self-operation, indicating a significant security flaw that could be easily exploited.
"The device has a lot of logs, and customer data was scattered throughout several of them-usually fragmentary, but it's not too hard to cross reference them with other logs. It's not super straightforward to directly access the data," Turing revealed. This illustrates the ease with which fragmented data can be reconstructed, highlighting a major risk surrounding customer privacy at Redbox.
