Tell HN: Vulnerability in Mexican CENEVAL System.

1 points by benbeltran ↗ HN
I know this is probably irrelevant to many of you, but it's kind of important for the Mexican members of HN.

There is a giant vulnerability (more like overall lack of security) in the registry for the CENEVAL Exams (CENEVAL is the national Center for Evaluation and has many standarized exams)

It is described here: http://blog.nsovocal.com/post/3185118332/como-ganar-en-el-registro-de-ceneval-o-como-tener-una

Almost every university and high school uses these exams and it can compromise their systems too (Tecnológico de Monterrey uses many of the passwords in their own systems). So if you're a mexican developer, please contact universities you have relationships with.

Also, maybe pass around this tweet to inform others: https://twitter.com/#!/benbeltran/status/35072833528930304

Thanks for your support :)
