A cybersecurity firm reportedly tried to warn EA about domain vulnerabilities months ahead of its recent data breach.
New details have come to light about the recent data breach suffered by EA and the video game maker allegedly ignored warnings from security researchers that could have prevented hackers from gaining access to its systems. Earlier this month it was revealed that EA fell victim to a data breach in which hackers were able to gain access to its corporate network and steal 780GB of source code, SDKs and other proprietary tools. Now the Israeli cybersecurity firm Cyberpion has revealed to ZDNet that it reached out to EA last year to inform the company that several of its domains could be subject to takeovers while others contained misconfigured DNS records.
