Steam Gaming portal: Open redirect vulnerability could hit COD: Ghosts fanatics

There are just a couple of hours remaining before the new Call of Duty game named “Ghosts” will be available for purchase on the game portal Steam, but there is something lurking in the dark, that can be used by malicious users to scam the people on Steam.
It is an open-redirect vulnerability that has been reported by Claes Spett to the gaming portal Steam. The vulnerability that can be classified as a vulnerability of high importance allows malicious users to redirect Steam users to a malicious website that for example, could sell fake COD: Ghosts accounts.

Claes Spett took the responsibility to report this to Steam, but as we can see Steam didn’t do jack about it. As Steam did not take Claes Spett seriously, we are going to send them a URL that they have to take seriously (The link to this article =) ) .
