CBS had data leak during March Madness: Security firm

Posted on April 13, 2016 by Dissent

Jessica Golden reports:

CBS Sports may have exposed more than just your busted March Madness bracket.

Mobile data management and security firm Wandera said it found a data leak on the CBS Sports app and mobile website during the college basketball tournament, allowing user data to possibly be compromised.

CBS Sports denied any breach.

The denial may depend on what you mean by “breach.” According to the security firm who detected the problem, they disclosed it to CBS, who allegedly notified them one month later that the bug had been fixed.
