Payroll firm pulls Web services, citing data leak

Service provider PayMaxx shuttered additional parts of its online
payroll site this week, after a Web programmer continued to find holes
in the system.
PayMaxx's further closure of its Web services comes after a Web
programmer, Aaron Greenspan, discovered that the company's initial
attempt to block malicious access had fixed some flaws but left others
unresolved.
While still referring to the data leak as "limited in scope," the
online payroll processor closed down its PayView and Instant W2
services, the company said in a statement. The services will remain
down until PayMaxx has completed a thorough security analysis and
redesigned the site's architecture.
