Hacking Into a Billion-Dollar SAP Solution

Mario Morejon writes on ChannelWeb:

After notification by our Test Center, SAP security experts have "fast-tracked" an investigation into potential holes in certain deployments of the software giant's server technology -- holes that apparently could leave entire data stores wide open to potential abuse by hackers.

The Waldorf, Germany-based company is examining potentially alarming scenarios, brought to its attention by our Test Center, which found that one data store built on SAP technology revealed an easy opportunity for cyber criminals to gain access to a large corporate database.

Fritz Bauspiess, director of SAP NetWeaver product management security, says the company is looking at the issue brought to its attention by the Test Center earlier this month.
