Screenshot of an article on Medium about the cyber-attack on the Vietnamese delivery system Giao Hang Tiet Kiem (GHTK). Source: kinhtedothi.vn According to the social publishing platform Medium, hackers got access to nearly 4GB of source code of the delivery system Giao Hang Tiet Kiem and sold it online. Speaking about the data they are selling, the hackers said they got it because there was a major flaw in the GHTK system. This flaw allowed them to view, edit and modify the codes of any projects. As the result, they downloaded all of the system’s data. Medium said the flaw could be the result of mistakes in the DevOps practices of the system’s programmers and administrators. It could also be caused by the system’s password low level of security, which made it become untrustworthy. A cybersecurity expert said the hackers could probably use the technique social engineering. This is a form of attack that targets the employees of GHTK, deceiving them to break into the system and steal data. GHTK is a professional e-commerce delivery company in Vietnam founded in 2013.

"Hello everyone, my name is Quynh. I am a senior at the Academy of Cryptography Techniques, Hanoi, and a security researcher, a job focusing on vulnerabilities in the Java platform." That was how Quynh introduced herself at a security webinar last October. Over the past five years, the 23-year-old had to repeat this introduction during many lectures since few thought a girl in her early twenties could detect as many as four vulnerabilities with high severity in less than a year, transforming her into a favorite speaker at various information security events. The four Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE), the general term for security vulnerabilities, Quynh has found are CVE-2020-14625, CVE-2020-14825, CVE-2020-2883, and CVE-2020-2798. Of these, three vulnerabilities rated 9.8 out of 10 by experts on Oracle WebLogic Server in terms of severity. The other rated 7.2. Oracle's WebLogic Server application is used by tens of thousands of companies around the world, bringing billions of dollars in revenue to the U.S. technology giant. If not detected early, the vulnerabilities above could be exploited by hackers and might cause unpredictable consequences. With Oracle publishing a list of vulnerabilities and patches for its products every quarter, the name of the senior college student popped up thrice last year. Getting hooked by chance To be able to detect her very first CVE in two weeks, it took Quynh four years of schooling and two months of research. But she admitted she did not enter this industry because of her passion or with a specific goal, but simply found it "cool." "I decided to study IT since I have always had a curious mind and the program has a study abroad option," she recalled. Surprisingly, the first-year college student who loves literature and knows how to play the piano had completed her study program with good results and earned a study slot abroad. But when she achieved her initial goal, Quynh realized she really loved …
