Lenovo and their less than stellar security record strikes again.
This time it’s their ShareIT app that could be exploited by anyone who can guess that ‘12345678’ could be a password. Which would be everyone seeing as that’s the most popular and least secure password around. Lenovo let this slip via a security advisory. Remember, this is the firm that brought you the Superfish gong show. So you know that security is not top of mind over at Lenovo HQ.
Lenovo has released an updated version of the app. But given their track record, one wonders what that will bring to users in the way of potential security issues.
