Cisco Resets Passwords on Careers Portal

Cisco last week prompted a password reset for the user accounts on its Cisco Professional Careers mobile website after a security researcher discovered a vulnerability in the portal.

The networking giant decided to reset the user passwords to ensure that accounts are kept secure, and says that the issue would have resulted in exposing “a limited set of job application-related information.” Cisco says that it doesn’t believe that the exposed information was accessed by anyone else than the researcher who discovered the security flaw.
