Researchers chained together two vulnerabilities in the EA gaming platform and developed a proof-of-concept attack that allowed for possible account takeovers. A successful attack could allow a malicious actor to gain access to a user s account and steal credit card information or fraudulently purchase in-game currency. The bug potentially could have bitten EA’s 90 million users of the gaming platform whose titles include FIFA, Maden NFL and Medal of Honor, according to researchers at Check Point Research and CyberInt that collaborated on the research report.
