Lecturer Dr Jason Nurse has been called on to give his expert opinion on a security vulnerability on a popular gaming platform.<\/p>\n
Jason is quoted in a\u00a0Wired UK<\/a> article entitled ‘A series of dumb security flaws left millions of EA Origin users exposed’.<\/p>\n EA are the makers of hugely popular games such as the FIFA series of football games, Star Wars, Madden NFL and SIMS. Researchers managed to find a flaw in the way EA managed its subdomain names which left users’ data vulnerable to hackers. However there is no evidence that this vulnerability has been exploited in the wild.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Jason was also asked to give his cyber security expertise on a Fortnite security flaw<\/a>\u00a0also in Wired.<\/p>\n Jason’s\u00a0\u00a0research<\/a> focuses on the interaction between users and aspects of cyber security, privacy and trust. He is part of the School of Computing’s\u00a0Cyber Security Group<\/a> and is\u00a0a core member of the\u00a0Kent Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Cyber Security (KirCCS<\/a>). The Centre has NCSC and UKRI recognition as an Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research (ACE-CSR<\/a>).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
