Abandoned Popcorn Time app left millions exposed to attacks
Original: Abandoned Popcorn Time app exposed millions of devices to RCE attacks https://www. bleepingcomputer.com/news/secu rity/a
Security researchers report that Popcorn Time, the abandoned torrent streaming app, left millions of devices vulnerable to remote code execution attacks. The long-discontinued software is no longer patched, meaning anyone still running it can be exploited by attackers over the network. Cybersecurity outlets are urging users to uninstall the app, and the finding is circulating widely across tech and security communities.
Why now: Reports of an unpatched vulnerability in widely installed abandoned software are prompting warnings to users.
