Mark, unfortunately, that isn't the case. She indicated she can, which I verified by opening the newsletter and clicking the links, specifically ordering and personal info. Hopefully, Ferrari addresses the problem. Can you assist? I have notified the owners' site but have yet to receive a response. | ||

Ben, We all know you're a freak!  I remember the biometric access points in AboveNet and Exodus. --Dan | ||

Hi Nsk, Whilst your friend can enter the site there are places that she wont be able to view like your personal info, the forum section or even the spare parts ordering section. Best Mark | ||

"With Ferrari, we had one s/n and one random code. Ferrari is not even close to Bentley in security." The problem is that the newsletter allows anyone to access the account sans logging in. Hence any number of passwords etc would be useless. More dissapointing is that, after two days, Ferrari has yet to respond to my email and requests. Hopefully the issue will be resolved by Tuesday ... | ||

Dan- Apple computer uses the same thing. For some of my clients, I employ full biometrics (combination of fingerprint/retina scan, and ultrasonic body volume measurment in an anchloric chamber.) Although that is usually not nessicary to get on the LAN. Usually... Best! Ben. | ||

Following Dans Tagent.. Bentley has the same thing. I have 5 different screens to just log into the Bentley DCS (Dealer Communication Site) and loads of screenames and passwords. With Ferrari, we had one s/n and one random code. Ferrari is not even close to Bentley in security. | ||

In a random bit of info, did you know that Ferrari employees have to carry an RSA key generator just to log in to the employee website? Talk about paranoid. --Dan | ||

Please be advised that the security on https://www.owners.ferrari.com/ appears to be problematic. I have forwarded the most recent Ferrari owners newsletter to a friend and she unknowingly accessed my account by simply opening the newsletter and clicking the links. Absurd. After being informed of this, I modified the password, which takes effect immediately. Nonetheless she was still able to access my account by simply opening the newsletter. Even more absurd! The newsletter references the account's email address followed by "&prov=NL" (no login?) which is the likely culprit. I thus modified the personal information, however these changes must be approved by Ferrari, and so they do not take effect immediately. Unfortunately, it appears the account's security can be circumvented until Ferrari approves the changes. Ferrari has been notified of the problem and hopefully it will be addressed. Nonetheless, a very disappointing experience. |
