Account Takeover Vulnerability Found in Popular EA Games Origin Platform

Electronic Arts’ Origin digital distribution platform has been found vulnerable to multiple security flaws. The vulnerabilities reside in the “Origin” platform developed by the world’s second-largest gaming company with over 300 million users. The flaws could have allowed remote hackers to hijack gamers’ accounts just by convincing them into opening an official webpage from the EA Games website. In a worst-case scenario, an attacker could have exploited these flaws to gain access to players’ credit card information with the ability to fraudulently purchase in-game currency.
