Typeform Data leak Interception Fix

Job ID: 38453627

Budget: $10 – $30 USD

Summary:
When a user signs up on our website using a Typeform integrated into our site, they immediately receive a scam email that is not from us. This indicates that the data they input on the form is being intercepted and taken immediately. This issue needs to be identified and fixed as soon as possible.

Project Brief: Website Security Investigation and Fix

Objective:
We need a security expert to thoroughly investigate our website to identify and fix a vulnerability where user information is being leaked. When someone signs up for our service, their details are immediately accessed by an unauthorized third party, who then sends them a scam email. This indicates that the information is being intercepted directly from our website.

Key Tasks:

Identify the Vulnerability:

Conduct a comprehensive security audit of the website to find where the user information is being obtained.
Focus on areas where users input their details, as well as any other potential entry points for data leakage.
Fix the Issue:

Once the vulnerability is identified, implement the necessary fixes to stop the information from being leaked.
Ensure that the fix is robust and prevents any future data breaches.
Confirm the Fix:

Test the website thoroughly after the fix to confirm that the information is no longer being leaked and that users' data is secure.
Additional Information:
The information is currently being stored in Typeform, which was previously integrated with the website. Although the direct integration has been removed, the data leak continues, indicating that the website itself may still be compromised.

Outcome:
The goal is to secure the website so that user information is no longer leaked to unauthorized third parties.


Key Tasks:
- Uncover the source: Identify how the scam email is being sent right after the form submission.
- Analyze the breach: Determine how the form data is being intercepted leading to these scam emails.
- Mitigate the issue: Implement necessary measures to stop and prevent this data breach.

The ideal freelancer for this job should have:
- Proficient understanding of Typeform and email systems.
- Experience in data security and breach investigation.
- Ability to implement robust security measures to prevent future data breaches.
- Strong communication skills to explain the issue and proposed solutions clearly.
