Comcast Says Website Problem With Broadband Subscriber Information Shut Down

Comcast says a problem with a company website used by subscribers to set up home internet and video service was shut down after ZDNet reported Monday the site could be tricked into displaying the home address of where a router is located, plus login information. "There’s nothing more important than our customers’ security," Comcast emailed Tuesday. "Within hours of learning of this issue, we shut it down. At no time did this site enable anyone to access customers’ personal usernames and passwords and we have no reason to believe that any account information was accessed. We are conducting a thorough investigation and will take all necessary steps to ensure that this doesn’t happen again.”
